Output of Finite Element Area with Location in RFEM 5

Is it possible to also have RFEM output the area of each finite element along with its location?


Answer:

There is no option for viewing the FE mesh nodes in RFEM along with those areas, but it is possible to export them to an Excel sheet. You can do this by following the steps in Image 01.

In Image 02, the coordinates of the FE mesh nodes are exported to Excel.

It is also possible to export the FE mesh as a .dxf file into AutoCAD. To do so, use the direct export option in RFEM and select the FE Mesh option. See this in Image 03.

Another option is to go to File - Export and then select the following format.

Then, in the Geometry tab, select the check boxes shown below.
