You can neglect openings with a certain area in the building model calculation. This function can be activated in the global settings of the building stories. A warning message appears saying that the openings have been neglected.
Building stone on stone has a long tradition in construction. The Masonry Design add-on for RFEM allows you to design masonry using the finite element method. It was developed as part of the research project DDMaS - Digitizing the Design of Masonry Structures. Here, the material model represents the nonlinear behavior of the brick-mortar combination in the form of macro-modeling. Do you want to find out more?
For each load case, the deformations can be displayed at the end time.
These results are also documented for you in the printout report of RFEM and RSTAB. You can select the report contents and extent specifically for the individual design checks.
You can display the results as usual via the Results navigator. Furthermore, the dialog box of the add-on shows you the information about the individual floors. Thus, you always have a good overview.
You have two options for a building model. You can create it when you start modeling the structure, or activate it afterwards. In the building model, you can then directly define the stories and manipulate them.
When manipulating the stories, you can choose whether to modify or retain the included structural elements using various options.
RFEM does some of the work for you. For example, it automatically generates result sections, so you don't need to perform a lot of calculations.
