Question

A cross-section rotates suddenly within a member or a continuous member.
What is the reason and how can I fix it?


Answer:
This is caused by the automatic orientation of the local axes related to the global axis system. In most cases, it is sufficient to specify the member rotation using an angle or a help node. However, if the member inclination is reversed, it is necessary to split it and then adjust it by means of the member rotation.

You can find a detailed description of the member rotation angle in RFEM and RSTAB by clicking the links below.
