Non-Designable Steel Joint

When designing a steel joint design, an initial FE model (submodel) of the steel joint is created in the background and calculated by RFEM 6. Therefore, the errors that are not detected during the plausibility check in Steel Joints add-on refer in most cases to this submodel. You can save this and open it as a separate RFEM model in order to analyze it in more detail.
To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Click the "Results in Steel Joint" button.
2. Click the "Save Steel Joint Model As" button.
3. Save the steel joint model.
4. Open it as a separate model in RFEM 6.

Now, you will get all the information about the submodel and can use all the tools of RFEM 6 to find the cause.
