Using Result Beams

The new "Result Beam" member type in RFEM 5 allows you to determine the load sums of individual floors easily. To do this, model a member in the relevant floor or in all floors, then specify the relevant walls as inclusive objects in the parameters of the result beam. RFEM then integrates the surface internal forces into member internal forces.

For a middle floor, you now only have to subtract the axial force of the member from the floor below. Due to the integration of the surface internal forces, the result can vary depending on the selected length of the FE mesh elements.
