Did you use the eigenvalue solver of the add-on to determine the critical load factor within the stability analysis? If so, you can then display the governing mode shape of the object to be designed as a result. The eigenvalue solver is available here for the lateral-torsional buckling analysis, depending on the design standard used.
Timber Design | Graphical Display of Mode Shape for Lateral-Torsional Buckling Analysis
- Arbitrary definition of the charring time
- Option to calculate with or without adhesion of the layer for surface structures (cross-laminated timber)
- Free user-defined specification of the fire parameters
- Consideration of Different Effective Lengths in Fire Resistance Design
- Optional design "Compression perpendicular to grain"
- Graphical result display integrated in RFEM/RSTAB, such as a design ratio
- Complete integration of the results into the RFEM/RSTAB printout report

If your design is successful, the relaxed part of your work follows. Because the program does many processes for you. For example, the performed design checks are displayed in a table. It shows you all the result details. Due to the clearly presented design formulas, you will be able to understand the results without any problems. There is no "black box" effect here.
The design checks are carried out at all governing locations of the members and displayed graphically as a result diagram. Furthermore, detailed graphics, such as the stress distribution on a cross-section or the governing mode shape, are available for you in the result output.
All input and result data are part of the RFEM/RSTAB printout report. You can select the report contents and extent specifically for the individual design checks.
Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. You just specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the simulation of the connection flexibility.
