Shaft Cover with Variable Thickness

How can I model a shaft with a cover that has a variable thickness?


Answer:

This task can be solved easily with RFEM:

  1. First, create your structure with surfaces of constant thickness.
  2. Now, double-click the surface to which you want to assign the variable thickness.
  3. In the "Thickness" section of the dialog box, select the "Variable…" option and then click the [Edit] button.
  4. In the "New Variable Thickness" dialog box, define the variable thickness using three edge nodes of the surface.
