You can define eccentricities for member loads of the load type 'Force'. You can apply the load eccentricities by means of an absolute or relative offset.
We recommend using the large deformation analysis to consider all effects of eccentric loads.

Automatic selection of members for design according to specified criteria (e.g. only vertical members)
In connection with the extension EC2 for RFEM/RSTAB, you can perform the design of reinforced concrete compression elements according to the method based on nominal curvature in compliance with EN 1992 -1‑1:2004 (Eurocode 2) and the following National Annexes:
