The model of a column footing with a precise contact solid (without bolts) can be opened in RFEM and is ideal for analyzing connection contacts. It was presented in the free webinar “The Most Common User Errors in RFEM and RSTAB” presented on Fenruary 4, 2021 (in English; on January 28, 2021, in German). The application supports engineers in validating modeling related to column base elements.
