The model presented in the video shows how to consider a surface precamber by using the surface load “Precamber” in RFEM. It is shown how to include imperfections precisely in the calculation of the real deflection. The methodology applied allows for the detection of surface curvature and load distribution. The analysis illustrates the influence of precamber in the model structure.
