You can also include the graphical results in the printout report. Therefore, you can better evaluate the force distribution in complex structures with respect to the individual load increments for easier visualization of static redistribution.
Graphical Stress Evaluation of Members
In RFEM, you can save the results of individual load increments during the calculation and display them graphically. Thus, you can graphically display and check the reaction diagram of different load levels for nonlinear supports.

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.
The RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module can perform the design of fillet welds for all parametric, welded cross-sections of the cross-section library. For this, the option must be activated in the detail settings of the module. As an alternative, you can also use a surface model for the design.
Each solid has a local coordinate system. The stresses and strains are also related to this local axis system.
When optimizing cross-sections in the add-on modules, you can also select arbitrarily defined cross-section favorites lists - in addition to the cross-sections from the same cross-section series as the original cross-section.
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
For the settlement calculation in the RF‑SOILIN add-on module, the specific weight gamma and gamma,sat are required for the soil. What do I need the value gamma,sat for, and how is it assumed in the calculation?
How does the "Orthotropic Plastic" material model work in RFEM?
I would like to define a line support with ineffective tension and apply the tension force on this line using a nodal support instead. Why does the line support still receive a tension force?
How do I display some results of all load cases in the printout report, but other results of selected load cases only?
Where do I find the setting to specify the entered structural component as a "wall" or "slab"?
How can I consider holes in steel members?
