Splice with Line Welded Joint

This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.

The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.

The data exchange between RFEM 6 and Allplan can be done using various file formats. This article describes the data exchange of a determined surface reinforcement using the ASF interface. This allows you to display the RFEM reinforcement values as level curves or colored reinforcement images in Allplan.

In the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on, you can use the option to specify sign-dependent limit stresses by stress component.

The material library of RFEM and RSTAB includes the timber materials according to the American standard ANSI/AWC NDS‑2024.

In addition to JavaScript, the Python high-level functions are also available in the console. Using the Python option, the console also provides you with the Python HLF functions known from the WebService function catalog for further use in the object properties dialog box for in-app scripting.
