The display of internal forces for couplings (coupling members, rigid members) is deactivated by default in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9. However, you can quickly enable the display of internal forces and deformations for these member types under the Navigator - Results - Members options by selecting the "Results on Couplings" checkbox.
Coupling or Rigid Member Result Display
How can I display the internal forces of a coupling member or rigid member in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9?

In addition to JavaScript, the Python high-level functions are also available in the console. Using the Python option, the console also provides you with the Python HLF functions known from the WebService function catalog for further use in the object properties dialog box for in-app scripting.
