We provide hints and tips to help you get started with the RFEM program.
Eccentric Member Loads in RFEM 6
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
This video shows the possibility of applying the loading of members eccentrically to cross-sections. Especially the differences between the load at the center of gravity or the shear center in a channel section.

How do I apply the ASCE 7 Orthogonal Directional Combination procedure (100% + 30% rule) to my seismic load in a static analysis?
- Why the eHORA map of Austria gives different snow loads than your Geo-Zone tool?
- The limit stress is activated, but my stress ratio is “non-designable” in the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. What could be the reason?
- How do I define effective lengths when designing steel members in RFEM 6?
- 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?
- I cannot analyze a UPN cross-section subjected to double bending in the program. Is it possible to do this in the program?
