In RFEM, surfaces are automatically connected if they have common boundary lines. If the definition line of a surface is lying in another surface, the line is automatically integrated into the surface, provided that it is a planar surface. For quadrangle surfaces, however, automatic object detection would be relatively time-consuming. For this reason, the corresponding function is deactivated. The integrated objects must be specified manually. However, RFEM offers an option that facilitates the integration of quadrangle surfaces. This was demonstrated using this model.
