In order to include the nodal support in FE mesh in RFEM, it is necessary to define the column head as rectangular or circular. The column head can be independent of the column cross‑section.
Considering Individual Column Cross-Sections for "Column in Z" Elastic Support
In RFEM 5.06 and RSTAB 8.06, the nodal support type "Elastic Support via Column in Z…" has been extended so you can use an individual cross‑section as a column cross‑section; for example, HEA from the cross‑section library. The column's cross-section is used to calculate the elastic support.
