FE Mesh Refinement of a Model in RFEM 6

If you want to refine the FE mesh, you can adjust the element size directly in the mesh settings:

1. In the main menu, go to "Calculate"
2. Select the "Mesh settings" option there
3. In the dialog that opens, you will find the parameter "Target length of finite elements" L_FE
4. Reduce this value to generate a finer FE mesh
5. Confirm the input and then start the calculation again

The smaller the selected element length, the finer the mesh and the more accurate the results can be.

Note that the FE mesh is only applied to surfaces and solids; for members, a corresponding coupling is required instead.
