Placing Node Between Two Points
Until now, if you wanted to determine the centroid of a rectangle, it was necessary to define a line from one corner point to the diagonally opposite point. You obtained the centroid by dividing this line. In RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8, you now have the possibility to create a node between two points. Thus, it is sufficient to select the corner points; then you can determine the distance in absolute or relative values.
- How can I perform a stability/buckling analysis on a plate structure?
- I want to create a mapped mesh for a circular hole plate. Is it possible to generate such a mesh in RFEM?
- How can I apply wind load distribution to a cylinder according to EN 1991‑4, Section 7.9?
- How can I additionally model welds for the connection of two surfaces with a contact solid?
- In connection with a calculation according to the large deformation analysis, I get significantly smaller deformations than for a calculation according to the linear static or second-order analysis. How is this possible?
- I have calculated a box girder. Which surface results or surface stresses can I use to evaluate the buckling behavior of the web plates?
- How can I deduce the axial stress and hoop stress of a circular container?
- How is it possible to consider the real cross-section geometry of member elements in RWIND Simulation?
- Is it possible to use RFEM for modeling a channel that is distorted from a rectangular cross-section to a pipe cross-section?
- Is it possible to analyze the effects of an hermetically sealed object with RFEM?
