Targeted display of results in RF-/FOUNDATION Pro
Technical Article
In RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro, you can carry out the design of a foundation at one or more nodes of the structure.
If you selected several nodes for the foundation design, the governing design criteria are shown for all nodes and all load cases in the “2.2 Governing Design Criteria” result window.
To show the results for a specific node or load case in this window, select in the “Show Criteria for” section the “Special node No.” or the “Load case / Combination” check box. Then, you can decide for which node and load case you want to show the results.
In case of designs for which the selected load case was not calculated, no result is shown. The message appears that the selected load case was not considered in this design.

In RF-/FOUNDATION Pro, the user can freely select the proportion of the relieving soil pressure by means of the factor kred.
Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
- Are the effective length coefficients in the add-on modules for the aluminum and steel design automatically determined from the model or do I have to make adjustments?
-
Which units are specified in the result display of the support reactions (kN or kN/m)? A note about this is missing in the graphic.
In the case that the support reactions are given in kN/m, for which distance does the value apply? - I design a cross-section created in the SHAPE‑THIN program by using the RF‑STEEL EC3 add-on module, but the program shows the error message "ER006 Invalid type of c/t-part for cross-section of type General." What can I do?
-
Is it possible to specify shrinkage effects as loads?
-
Is it possible to calculate American steel cross-sections?
- Where do I find the setting to specify the entered structural component as a "wall" or "slab"?
- The four plates, identically loaded, show different negative moments at the point of support. Is this a mistake?
- How can I quickly model a chimney with reinforcement rings and stiffeners?
- How can I model and design general bolted connections with the surface and solid elements in RFEM?
- I get the message "Existing torsion -> no stability design possible." Why does this appear and what can I do?
