In RFEM and RSTAB, you can check the plausibility of entries before you start the calculation. This is done using "Tools" → "Check Plausibility ..." or the corresponding button in the toolbar. There are three different types of checks available.
An individual user‑defined workspace can increase your productivity and make your daily work easier. This is why many users take the opportunity to adjust the toolbars in RFEM and RSTAB and to create their own toolbars containing the most frequently used commands.
The description of load cases, load combinations, or result combinations is often longer than fits into the drop‑down combo box "Current Load Case, Load Combination, Result Combination or Module Case" in the toolbar of RFEM or RSTAB.
You can change the content and appearance of a toolbar under "View" → "Arrange Toolbars Customized". This way, you can easily arrange and save frequently used commands in specific user‑defined toolbars. In addition to the default arrangement on the top of the screen, you can dock the toolbars on the left and right edges of the screen for a better overview.
In addition to the options of Project Navigator - Display, you can modify the visibility of structures (members, surfaces, and so on) and guide objects (dimensions, comments, guidelines, and so on) in the menu and toolbar using the shortcut menus.
The RFEM or RSTAB user interface can be customized. The previous posts describe how to create toolbars and menu bars. Thus, this post focuses on the load case drop‑down list. This drop‑down list allows you to switch between individual load cases, combinations, and module cases.
You can select an object in RFEM or RSTAB by simply clicking it. However, only the last object clicked will stay selected. In order to select several objects at a time, press the Control key while clicking. Since this procedure is not always possible, you can use the "Add to Selection" function in the toolbar or in the "Edit" → "Select" menu.
