Since a member length corresponds to the distance between both end nodes in RFEM or RSTAB, the model is displayed only partially realistic for cross-section connections or downstand beams. In such cases, the member eccentricities can connect the members eccentrically by means of specific member end sections. Thus, the design moments on horizontal beams may be reduced for frames, for example.
In the program, the member eccentricities are taken into account by a transformation of the degrees of freedom in the local element stiffness matrix.
