Mass Print of Design Components
Technical Article
The add-on modules for designing structural member components according to national, European, and international standards also show design results in addition to numerical output in tables graphically, as diagrams displayed on the framework.
In this case, the Result Navigator controls the logical result components to be considered in the diagrams. For example, the European steel structure design according to EN 1993-1-1 carried out in the RF-/STEEL EC3 add-on module displays designs according to the following categories:
- Ultimate limit state
- Cross-section design
- Stability analysis
- Weld design
- Compression design
- Plastic design
- Serviceability
- Deformation
- Web breathing
- Fire resistance
- Cross-section design
- Stability analysis
This hierarchical display of results is also fully included in the mass print section for report purposes. In the case of a design module, the mass print identifies different design groups in the Result Navigator and provides the corresponding printout options. The options
- "Separate pictures" or
- "Envelope picture"
set the course for the information to be displayed in the design graphic. The "Separate pictures" option prints any activated design component as a separate image, and the "Envelope picture" option prints an enveloping result graphic of all design components activated within the option to the selected printout report.
To avoid mistakes, the program shows all considered result components at the top of each result picture. All components used in envelope graphics are mentioned in the graphics accordingly.

Parametrization of Rolled Cross-Sections
Rolled sections, the most common cross‑section type in RFEM and RSTAB, can also have user‑defined parameters.
- Can I create a visibility from objects even though the function is grayed?
- How do I apply wind load on members of open structures?
- Is it possible to switch off the minimum internal forces when displaying a result diagram so that the maximum values are only displayed?
- I do not want to design a cross-section in the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module. Can I quickly remove this cross-section from the selection?
- How does the "Orthotropic Plastic" material model work in RFEM?
- What is the meaning of the superposition according to the CQC rule in a dynamic analysis??
- We have recently received the following error message on a laptop. Can you tell me what we can do to fix the problem?
- There are two different add-on modules for a response spectrum analysis in RF‑/DYNAM Pro. What can be the reasons for the different results of both add-on modules?
- Is it possible to edit a printout report without opening it?
- What is the meaning of the action of masses in RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations?
