- Simple definition of construction stages in the RFEM/RSTAB structure including visualization
- Addition, removal, and modification of member, surface, and solid properties (such as member hinges, surface eccentricities, degrees of freedom for supports, and others)
- Optional superposition of construction stages with additional temporary loads; for example, mounting loads or mounting cranes, and others
- Consideration of nonlinear effects such as failure of a tension member, elastic foundations, or nonlinear supports
- Numerical and graphical result display for individual construction stages or as an envelope (Max/Min) of all construction stages
- Detailed printout report including all structural and load data of each construction stage
RF-/STAGES | Features
Shear walls and deep beams of a building model are available as independent objects in the design add-ons. This allows for faster filtering of the objects in results, as well as better documentation in the printout report.
The building story generator in the Building Model add-on allows you to automatically create building stories, depending on the topology of the model.
In the Concrete Design provides an option to perform seismic design according to AISC 341-16 for steel members.
Five SFRS types (Seismic Force-Resisting Systems) are available for this.
The combination wizard provides you with the option to consider more than one initial state. RFEM and RSTAB allow you to specify different initial states (prestress, form-finding, strain, and so on) for the target combinations in the combinatorics.
You can thus, for example, generate load states on the basis of a form-finding analysis with varying imperfections.
