This article draws a parallel between generating an FE mesh for separate objects using the “Independent FE mesh preferred” option, and generating the mesh without using said option.
In this article, you will learn how to model a simple end plate connection in RFEM 6.
Utilizing the Steel Design Add-on, steel design is possible according to the AISC 360-22 standard. The following article will compare the result output when calculating lateral torsional buckling according to Chapter F vs. an Eigenvalue Analysis.
This paper is focused on the specific aspects of designing membrane structures that have specific requirements, such as form-finding and cutting pattern generation. An integral part of the design of these structures is the process of finding suitable prestressed shapes and generating cutting patterns. The text briefly describes two basic processes in the design of membrane structures. The physical principles are explained and the individual theses illustrated by examples.
In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.
The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
