In the https://www.dlubal.com/en-US/products/rfem-fea-software/add-ons-for-rfem-6/design/stress-strain-analysis stress-strain add-on, you can define a component-dependent limit stress cycle and consider it for the design.
Get a better understanding of the stress distribution within member cross-sections by using clipping planes.
In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
The "Bracing in Cells" function allows you to generate diagonal bracing with just a few clicks. You can find this feature under Tools → Generate Model – Members → Bracing in Cells.
