First Steps with RFEM
Description
In many frame and truss structures, it is no longer sufficient to use a simple member. You often have to consider cross-section weakenings or openings in solid beams. In such cases, you can use the "Surface Model" member type. It can be integrated into the model like any other member and offers all the options of a surface model. The present technical article shows the application of such a member in an existing structural system and describes the integration of member openings.

WebService & API for Analysis of Construction Stages
When calculating regular structures, data input is often not complicated but time-consuming. Input automation can save valuable time. The task described in the present article is to consider the stories of a house as single construction stages. Data is entered using a C# program so that the user does not have to enter the elements of the individual floors manually.
