With RFEM, you can generate member, surface, or solid loads resulting from motions. Thus, for example, braking or acceleration forces can be generated automatically from linear movements or from rotational movements on a structural system.
The steady state for periodically excited structures can be determined by means of the modal analysis in the DYNAM Pro - Forced Vibrations add-on module. This is an advantage if only the structure's steady state is of interest. Instead of a complete solution of the equation of motion, only a special solution is displayed.

With RSTAB version 8.04.0058 and later versions, you can consider loads due to rotary motion. This load type is especially useful for crane designs (see the simplified crane in the image).
