Defining Free Dimension

In order to set a dimension in RFEM, a physical node must exist at the locations to be dimensioned. Therefore, dimensioning free surface loads or graphical results was impossible without further effort until now.

Since version 5.06.3039, the "Generate help node" function has been added to the dialog box for defining a linear dimension. It is now possible to set a dimension for any location in a structural model as well as in result diagrams. The nodes required for the dimension line can be created in one go when specifying the linear dimension. The new nodes have a comment titled "Help node for dimension", so you can easily recognize and select them in the table.
