Answer:
It is possible to display or calculate the stresses in RFEM as well as in the RF‑STEEL Surfaces add-on module by using the following smoothing options:
- Constant on Elements
- Non-Continuous
- Continuous Within Surfaces
- Continuous Total
- Continuously by Groups / Continuous by Groups
To compare the results correctly, it is necessary to select the same display type and calculation type in RFEM 5 and RF‑STEEL Surfaces.
In RFEM 5, it is possible to do this in Project Navigator Display → Results → Surfaces → Distribution of Internal Forces/Stresses (Image 02). In the RF‑STEEL Surfaces module, this can be displayed or changed in Details → "Options" tab (Image 03).
