How can I consider holes in steel members?

Answer

For the calculation of members, it is possible to define the cross-sections in RFEM and RSTAB that create a member with the openings arranged regularly (circular or honeycombed).
If you want to place a single hole in a steel beam, you can use the "Generate Surfaces from Member" tool and put the hole as a circular opening into the web surface.
