Generating Surfaces from Member: Settings
Technical Article
In RFEM, you can generate surfaces from members (for example, to perform an accurate FE simulation on a member). Specific parameters such as automatic FE mesh refinement or rigid surfaces can be defined prior to the generation.

Failing Support Conditions for Contact Surfaces
In order to create a surface model with failing supports close to reality, an option called "Failure if contact perpendicular to surfaces failed" is available in RFEM 5 for contact solids under "Contact Parallel to Surfaces".

During the installation, I get the error message R6025. What should I do?
- Is it possible to open an RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8 file in a previous program version?
- RFEM and RSTAB crash at the moment of starting the program. I work with a 3D mouse. Where is the problem?
- The output of extreme values is not displayed. Where can I activate the MAX/MIN info?
- I need many mode shapes to achieve a sum of 90% effective modal mass. Can I limit the number of mode shapes for generating equivalent loads?
-
Is it possible to change the properties of members or surfaces in the individual construction stages, such as their location?
- I am trying to import a DXF file. The file can be imported into the model, but it does not have the correct scale. Where is the problem?
- When exporting to Excel, I get the error message "Microsoft Excel is not installed on this computer" although Excel is installed. Why?
- Is it possible to apply a factor to the loads of one or more load cases that uniformly increases or decreases all loads in these load cases?
- Is the German National Annex 2021‑07 to Eurocode 8 available in RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8?
- I am trying to import a DXF file. The file can be imported into the model, but it does not have the correct scale. Where is the problem?
