Orthotropic Material
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
In this video you can see how the orthotropic and isotropic materials can be defined via the material thickness type in RFEM 6. Orthotropic material describes a material behavior where on a 2D surface a higher stiffness in x-direction of the shell compared to the y-direction of the shell can be defined. For 3D solids it is also possible to define a different material behavior in z-direction.

Saving Models as Blocks in RFEM 6
In RFEM 6 it is possible to save selected objects, as well as whole structures, as blocks and reuse them in other models. Three types of blocks can be distinguished: non-parameterized, parameterized, and dynamic blocks (via JavaScript). This article will focus on the first block type (non-parameterized).

- Design of tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, and combined internal forces

- Support pressure design for the internal and external supports
- Design of curved and tapered members

I would like to export nodal support forces of several load cases, load combinations and result combinations into an Excel spreadsheet in RFEM 6. How should I proceed?
- Where can find the option to hide the defined types (for example, design supports or effective lengths)?
- How do I create a user-defined Design Situation with my own chosen load combinations?
- How do I perform stability analysis to determine the critical load factor in RFEM 6?
- How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
- How can I neglect torsion in the steel and timber design?
- Where can I find the materials for the corresponding National Annexes in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?
- What is the meaning of the superposition according to the CQC rule in a dynamic analysis??
- How does the "Orthotropic Plastic" material model work in RFEM?
- How can I display the internal forces in the global coordinate system and not in the principal coordinate system of the cross-section?
