Generally, overlapping members in the model are not desired. To prevent RFEM from deleting an already defined member if another member is placed upon it, select "Allow Double Members" on the "Edit" menu.

Thus, the stiffnesses of both members are taken into account in the calculation, and member eccentricities can also be used. This can be useful, for example, when defining composite cross-sections.

As with the modeling of a composite cross-section using coupling members, it is important to ensure that the composite beam is divided into a sufficient number of members.
