In RFEM, it is possible to determine pushover curves (also called capacity curves) and export them to Excel.
With the RF-DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module, it is possible to generate load distribution automatically in accordance with a mode shape and export it as a load case to RFEM.
Equivalent static loads are generated separately for each relevant eigenvalue and excitation direction. They are exported to static load cases to perform the linear static analysis in RFEM/RSTAB.
The equivalent load analysis calculation generates load cases and result combinations. The load cases include the generated equivalent loads, which are subsequently superimposed in result combinations. First, the modal contributions are superimposed with the SRSS or CQC rule. Signed results based on the dominant mode shape are possible.
Afterwards, the directional components of earthquake actions are combined with the SRSS or the 100% / 30% rule.
The input parameters relevant for the selected standards are suggested by the program in accordance with the rules. Furthermore, it is possible to enter response spectra manually. Dynamic load cases define a direction of response spectra effects and the structure eigenvalues that are relevant for the analysis.
