In RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8, you can display the resulting support force related to the centroid of the model. It can be used, for example, to check the model and load data.
Until now, if you wanted to determine the centroid of a rectangle, it was necessary to define a line from one corner point to the diagonally opposite point. You obtained the centroid by dividing this line. In RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8, you now have the possibility to create a node between two points. Thus, it is sufficient to select the corner points; then you can determine the distance in absolute or relative values.
In SHAPE-THIN, you can import cross-section geometries that are available as contour or centroid layouts in DXF format and use them as a basis for modeling.
