Member Type "Dashpot"
Product Feature
The member type "Dashpot" can be used for time history analyses in RFEM/RSTAB with the add-on modules RF-/DYNAM Pro - Forced Vibrations and RF-/DYNAM Pro - Nonlinear Time History. This linear viscous damping element considers forces dependent on velocity.
With regard to viscoelasticity, the member type "Dashpot" is similar to the Kelvin-Voigt model, which consists of the damping element and an elastic spring (both connected in parallel).

Response spectrum analysis is one of the most frequently used design methods in the case of earthquakes. This method has many advantages, the most important being the simplification.
- There are two different add-on modules for a response spectrum analysis in RF‑/DYNAM Pro. What can be the reasons for the different results of both add-on modules?
- What is the meaning of the superposition according to the CQC rule in a dynamic analysis??
- How can I display the results of the RF‑/DYNAM Pro add-on module in the printout report?
