Question:
I have modeled two nodes on a surface in RFEM. The results do not show the displacement at these two nodes. How can I obtain it?
Answer:
After creating the two nodes for which you want to display the displacement, you should ensure that they belong to the surface.
If these two nodes are not connected to a line, it is necessary to integrate them in the mesh to be considered in the calculation with finite elements.
To integrate these objects that are not used in the mesh, click the Calculate menu → FE Mesh Settings, which opens the FE Mesh dialog box. In this dialog box, select the Integrate unutilized objects into surfaces check box.
After the calculation, you can see the displacement of these nodes in Table 4.2 Nodes - Displacements.
