Import of Support Forces to New Model

I need to analyze a building by floor. Is it possible to insert the support forces of a calculated model into a new model as loads in RFEM?


Answer:

The support loads of other RFEM models can be imported into the current load case as nodal and line support forces.

However, the support forces resulting from the surface foundation, as well as the horizontal support loads, cannot be transferred. The function allowing the load transfer is available under the menu "Tools" → "Import Support Reactions as Load".

In the respective dialog box, specify the model from which the loads should be transferred. Furthermore, it is necessary to enter the LC, CO, or RC number and the surfaces, nodes, and lines whose support reactions are considered.

Please note that the other model must be calculated.

It is not possible to import loads from 3D models into a 2D plate. Only the loads in the Z‑direction are transferred.
