The model demonstrates the consideration of initial surface curvature using the "Precamber" surface load in RFEM. It shows how to accurately incorporate imperfections into the calculation of actual deflection. The applied methodology enables capturing surface curvature and load distributions. The analysis illustrates the effect of pre-cambers in model setup.
