Add-on Module for RFEM 5
RF-DEFORM

The RF-DEFORM add-on module allows you to perform deformation analysis of single members or entire sets of members, and to individually define the allowable limit deformations, referring to the undeformed structure or shifted member ends.

The add-on module allows you to perform deflection analysis of members and sets of members, to select the elements to be designed, to relate limit deformations to member directions, to include lengths or deformation values, to perform a deformation analysis for extreme values from actions, and to select units.

RF-/DEFORM Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB | Deformation and Deflection Analyses

RF-/DEFORM | Features

Deflection analysis of members and sets of members
Graphical selection of single members and sets of members for design
Limit deformations in reference to global, local, or resulting member directions
Limit deformations in reference to lengths of single or continuous members, or specification of absolute deformation values
Deformation analysis of extreme values from different actions
Optional application of different design cases
Free selection of length and deformation units independent of RFEM/RSTAB
Integration of deformation analyses into the global RFEM/RSTAB printout report

Input: Reference of Deformations and Limit Deformations for Members and Sets of Members

RF-/DEFORM | Input

Design-relevant data are entered in two separate windows. Since the RF-/DEFORM module is very clearly arranged, working in it is very easy.

First of all, it is necessary to define the actions to be designed. Then, you can select the members and sets of members manually or graphically and assign the respective allowable limit deformations.

The deformations correspond to deformed member ends or an undeformed system.

RF-/DEFORM | Calculation

If the results of the designed actions are not available, RF-/DEFORM automatically starts the RFEM/RSTAB calculation in order to determine the deformations. The settings of the calculation parameters defined in RFEM/RSTAB are used.

Subsequently, the RF-/DEFORM add-on module determines the relative deformations of the designed members and sets of members.

Output: Deformation Analysis for Governing Members and Sets of Members

RF-/DEFORM | Results

Relative and absolute deformations are compared to the respective limit values in clearly arranged tables. In this way, you can quickly evaluate the design results.

If the design for a member or member set fails, this is indicated in color. You can integrate the designs performed by RF-/DEFORM into the printout report in the same way as the RFEM/RSTAB data.
