In RFEM, if you want to insert a tapered member with intermediate nodes into an existing model, the question often arises how to quickly determine the individual cross-section depths of the tapered members. For this, using the "Connect Lines or Members" command is reasonable.

In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.

The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on allows you to modify the object and design properties of members, surfaces, and so on, in the individual construction stages.

In the wind simulation, it is possible to consider member coatings (for example, from ice loads).

If you activate the "Link to Nearby Objects…" option for nodes, RFEM or RSTAB automatically searches for neighboring objects. A link in the form of a rigid member is then created for these members, nodes, or surfaces.
You can specify various settings for searching for nearby objects. Including search area, object types to be searched for, and objects to be excluded. Furthermore, you can specify member hinges for the created connecting member.
