RFEM 5 | Nonlinearity Settings for Partial Support Acting as of Deformation

I have modeled a continuous beam. One of the supports should only act when the deformation is 10 mm or above. How can I set such a nonlinearity?


Answer:

In this case, we recommend using the definition of slippage. To do this, select Partial Activity as a "Nonlinearity" in the "Edit Nodal Support" dialog box. In the "Nonlinearity – Partial Activity" dialog box, you can define the slippage in the respective zone. For checking purposes, there is a diagram.
