Spring Stiffness of Foundation Plate with RF-FOUNDATION Pro

Can I calculate the spring stiffness of a foundation plate using RF‑FOUNDATION Pro in RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8, and apply this in RFEM?


Answer:

Yes, this is possible in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8. To do this, activate the calculation of settlement in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro. The export of the spring stiffness requires a calculation as "rigid plate". You can specify this in the settings for the settlement calculation (see Image 01).

After the calculation, the export option is available using the "File" menu in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro (see Image 02).

The export of stiffness is possible in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8.
