Answer:
Yes, you have to activate the "Nonlinearity" tab in the "New Member/Edit Member" dialog box; see Image 01.
In the "Nonlinearity" tab, you can then define a new member nonlinearity; see Image 02.
Member Nonlinearity
Is it possible to define member nonlinearities for beam members?
For example, can I define a member that absorbs all internal forces, except for the compressive axial forces?
Do you have any questions?

This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.
In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.
This article presents the basic concepts in structural dynamics and their role in the seismic design of structures. Great emphasis is given to explaining the technical aspects in an understandable way, so that readers without deep technical knowledge can gain an insight into the subject.
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
Has the RF-TOWER add-on module for RFEM 5 already been added to RFEM 6?
Where can I find my customer number in RFEM or RSTAB?

I get a warning that a file created with RFEM, RSTAB, or RSECTION contains a virus or a Trojan horse. What should I do?
I am trying to import a DXF file. The file can be imported into the model, but it does not have the correct scale. Where is the problem?
My model is unstable. What could be the reason?
