FAQ 004171 EN
I have modeled a curved member with straight member segments. However, this results in discontinuities in the distribution for the diagrams of internal forces. How can I optimize it?

Determining Variable Cross-Section Depth of Tapered Member Using 'Connect Lines or Members'
In RFEM, if you want to insert a tapered member with intermediate nodes into an existing model, the question often arises how to quickly determine the individual cross-section depths of the tapered members. The ‘Connect Lines or Members’ command comes in handy for this purpose.
