Did you already know? For load combinations, you can optionally display the difference results to the initial state. For example, you have the option for a geotechnical analysis to output the settlement as a difference to the initial state "soil self-weight".
Your RFEM/RSTAB program is responsible for generating and calculating the load and result combinations required for the serviceability limit state. Select the design situations for the deflection analysis in the Timber Design add-on. The calculated deformation values are then determined at each location of a member, depending on the specified precamber and the reference system, and then compared to the limit values.
You can specify the deformation limit value individually for each structural component in Serviceability Configuration. In this case, the maximum deformation should not exceed the permissible limit value, depending on the reference length. When defining design supports, you can segment the components. This allows you to determine the corresponding reference length automatically for each design direction.
Based on the position of the assigned design supports, the program automatically determines the difference between beams and cantilevers. Thus, you can be sure that the limit value is determined accordingly.
Communication is the key to success. This also applies to a client-server relation. WebService and API provides you with an XML based information exchange system for direct client-server communication. Programs, objects, messages, or documents can be integrated into these systems. For example, a web service protocol of the HTTP type runs for the client-server communication when you are looking for something in the Internet using a search engine.
Now back to Dlubal Software. In our case, the client is your programming environment (.NET, Python, JavaScript) and the service provider is RFEM 6. Client-server communication allows you to send requests to and receive feedback from RFEM, RSTAB, or RSECTION.
What is the difference between WebService and an API?
WebService is a collection of open source protocols and standards used to exchange data between systems and applications. In contrast, an application programming interface (API), is a software interface through which two applications can interact without a user being involved.
Thus, all web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services.
What are the advantages of the WebService technology? You can communicate more quickly within and between organizations.A service can be independent of other services.Webservice allows you to use your application to make your message or feature available to the rest of the world.Webservice helps you to exchange data between different applications and platforms Several applications can communicate, exchange data, and share services with each other. SOAP ensures that programs created on different platforms and based on different programming languages can exchange data securely.
Communication between the web service client and server is optionally encrypted via the https protocol. To do this, you can install an SSL certificate with the corresponding private key in the settings.
If there are geometry differences arising between the ideal and the deformed structural system from the previous construction stage, they are compared in the program. The next construction stage is built on top of the stressed system from the previous construction stage. This calculation is nonlinear.
The calculation of the "Permanent Loads" is performed in compliance with the large deformation analysis successively for each construction stage.
The resulting geometry differences between the ideal and the deformed structural system from the previous construction stage are compared in the background. The next construction stage is built on top of the stressed system from the previous construction stage.
