The calculation does use all the kernels. Some processors (Intel Core i7, i9, XEON...), however, support Hyper-Threading Technology. This means that each physically available processor core is split into two virtual cores for applications. This aims at a better usage of the single units of the core. Some applications benefit from this and run faster. However, this is not the case for the computational kernel of RFEM. Therefore, the computational kernel of RFEM often uses only the physically available cores, and Task Manager shows that the processor seems to have a usage of only 50%.
Question
When calculating an RFEM file, Task Manager shows a usage of only about 50%. Why does the calculation not use all the kernels?
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.
This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (for example, trusses and membrane structures).
Display extended strains of members, surfaces, and solids (for example, the important principal strains, equivalent total strains, and so on) in the Project Navigator - Results in RFEM as well as in Table 4.0.
For example, you can display governing plastic strains when performing the plastic design of connections with surface elements.
RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Babylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.
You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to these instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download).
For example, can I define a member that absorbs all internal forces, except for the compressive axial forces?
Is it possible to add this new load case to combinations that are generated automatically?
