Considering Member and Surface Eccentricities as well as Couplings/Rigid Members

How can I consider a member offset at a particular connection point in RFEM 5?

Answer:

For this, there are basically two options in RFEM 5:

  • The use of member eccentricities; see the article Considering Eccentricities of Members and Surfaces.
  • In the case of differently defined member hinges in combination with different dimensions of offsets, it can help to use couplings or rigid members; see Image 01 – Solid Model, and Image 02 – Wireframe Model.
