In RFEM 6, three new model types have been added:
- •2D|XZ|3D
- •2D|XY|3D
- •1D|X|3D
These model types allow for modeling in a 1D or 2D environment, but a three-dimensional load application and the resulting 3D internal forces.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Mia is accessible in the programs and prevents the hassle of following up by email or phone.
Using the "Damper" member type, you can define a damping coefficient, a spring constant, and a mass. This member type extends the possibilities within the Time History Analysis.
With regard to viscoelasticity, the "Damper" member type is similar to the Kelvin-Voigt model, which consists of the damping element and an elastic spring (both connected in parallel).
