The Member Set Representative Wizard tab is displayed if the "Member Set Representatives" check box has been activated in the tab. Here you can define criteria according to which the program creates "representatives" for member sets (see the chapter Member Set Representatives).
A member set representative is a template for member sets with identical properties. RFEM checks all member sets for similarities with regard to various criteria, such as material, cross-section, line and member type, member length, member set type, as well as member orientation, and displays the result as a list (see the image Member Set Representatives in Navigator ). The mentioned criteria are preset.
In the "Consideration of Member Set Properties" list, you can define further conditions to refine the criteria for member set representatives. For example, if you activate the "Eccentricities" of the member properties, RFEM creates a representative for similar member sets without eccentricities and a representative for the same member sets of the similar type with eccentricities.
