Using RF‑COM/RS‑COM, it is possible to create RFEM/RSTAB models and write data. The same applies to load cases, load combinations, and result combinations.
RF-COM/RS‑COM consists of an instruction set that can be embedded in common programming languages, such as Visual Basic, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), Visual C++ (also .NET). The instruction set includes objects and methods that allow access to the RFEM/RSTAB data.
To be able to use RF-COM/RS‑COM, you only need an editor, a compiler, and basic programming knowledge. The supplied object library is easy to integrate into the editor. For example, in the case of Microsoft Excel, you have everything you need as a VBA editor included in this software.
The RF-COM/RS‑COM interface requires valid licenses for RF‑COM/RS‑COM, as well as for RFEM/RSTAB and the respective add‑on modules whose data is to be used.
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
