Temporary structures, such as scaffolding or props, are versatile structures that can be adapted very well to different geometric conditions.
For designing glass in the RF‑GLASS add‑on module, you can use one of two calculation methods: a 2D or a 3D calculation. The main difference between these design options is the automatic modeling of the layers in a temporary model. In a 2D calculation, each layer is generated as a surface element (plate theory); in a 3D calculation, it is generated as a solid. Depending on the selected layer composition, you can either select an option or find it preselected by the program.
When using the RF‑GLASS add‑on module, you can define just the geometry in the main program, as well as the load situation of the structural component to be designed. The respective support conditions and all further design-relevant definitions (for example, the layer structure and support conditions), can be further specified in RF‑GLASS.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can add a comment to model objects in the graphic. When inserting a comment, the origin of the current work plane automatically jumps temporarily to the same plane in which the comment is placed. This prevents comments from being accidentally placed very far from the object.
Friction plays an important role in practice. Without friction, the brakes of cars would be useless, objects on inclined planes would just slide away, and prestressed bolt connections would be impossible.
RFEM and RSTAB are able to cover a large number of branches in the building and construction industry with their generally usable structural frame analysis and FEM programs. Designing cable structures is thus also possible in both software solutions. Some assistance tools for modeling and design will be presented in the following text.

In Germany, DIN EN 1991-1-3 with National Annex DIN EN 1991-1-3/NA regulates snow loads. The standard applies to civil engineering works at altitudes of up to 1,500 m above sea level.
For evaluating results on surfaces, RFEM provides the option to define sections. Basically, two different types of sections are available. One, the creation of a temporary section showing the result diagrams of the desired cutting edge only once; the other, the definition of a section in the dialog box, which is then created as a separate object in RFEM, and thus the results can be viewed at any time. Displaying the results of defined sections is done graphically in RFEM, but they can also be displayed separately in a dialog box and be included in the printout report.
The local coordinate system of a member is particularly important when defining member end releases and member nonlinearities. The definitions follow the orientation of the axes. You can temporarily adjust the visibility of these member axes by means of preselection.
