Automatically Generating Surfaces from Members

RFEM allows you to automatically generate surfaces from modeled members. This has the advantage that, for example, the surface thicknesses of a steel section are generated automatically.

Furthermore, extended settings allow you to apply an FE mesh refinement to generated surfaces or generate additional surfaces at the face of a member. This automatic function allows you to model cross‑sections as an FEA model quickly.
