In order to avoid inconsistencies in a model caused by data imports from CAD programs or by modeling, RFEM 6 provides the option to define model tolerances for nodes, lines, surfaces, and directions in the input data. In this sense, the tolerance at which the nodes, lines, surfaces, and distances are to be considered identical and combined is defined.
These model tolerances are taken into account in the program when individual model parameters are modified using the "Move/Copy" function and when the "Drag & Drop" function is used. However, if the position of the model parameters is defined via the table, the specified tolerances can be undershot as required. (Note: In the video, the model tolerance has been set a little coarser so that the effects of this setting become clear. Usually, a model tolerance of 0.0005 m is preset by the program.)
In RFEM 5, such inconsistencies in the model could be automatically eliminated using the "Regenerate Model" function.
