Imperfection from Mode Shape

How do I create an imperfection based on a mode shape in RFEM 6?


Answer:

To create an imperfection based on a mode shape, you need the Structure Stability add-on.


In this way, mode shapes can be determined for a load case or a load combination based on its axial force state. The resulting mode shape can be selected and scaled after creating an imperfection case. The video shows the procedure.
