Considering Loads from Structure in RF-GLASS

Is it possible to consider the loads on a glass pane from the structure in the RF‑GLASS design?


Answer:

The loads from the whole structure are automatically considered for the design in RF‑GLASS if you select the global calculation type and the corresponding load case.

In the case of the "local" calculation type, the structural system is considered separately; thus, only the loads directly acting on the surface are taken into account.

Therefore, it is necessary to manually enter the loads from the supporting system for this calculation type.
