This chapter describes the windows that are especially relevant for the RF-/JOINTS Steel - Sikla module. The general input parameters are described in Chapter 2.
TIP
The module's joints are matched to the sections of the support system manufacturer Sikla. These sections are available for selection in the cross-section library of RFEM or RSTAB among the rolled square and rectangular hollow sections (see also Figure 8.9).
The input windows of the add-on module are accessible once you select the material Steel and the joint group Typified joints - Sikla.
The input always refers to the design case selected in the upper part of the navigator. To change the design case, simply click the relevant entry in the list.
If the Geometry entry is missing in the navigator, check whether the boundary conditions for entering the connection are correct in Window 1.2 Nodes and Members. For example, it may be necessary to deactivate connected members for the design (see Figure 7.7).
