The "Create surface cells due to openings" option is available to you in the surface shortcut menu. It allows you to easily create the lines for the columns of timber panel walls (using the "Beam Panel" thickness type), for example.

The evaluation of story drift in a building is crucial to ensure acceptable structural performance by limiting the drift amount. Excessive drift has the potential to induce system instability and may cause damage to nonstructural components such as partitions. This article outlines the procedure for establishing interstory drift according to ASCE 7-22 and the Building Model add-on in RFEM 6.
Plate girder is an economical choice for long spans construction. I-section steel plate girder typically has a deep web to maximize its shear capacity and flange separation, yet thin web to minimize the self-weight. Due to its large height-to-thickness (h/tw) ratio, transverse stiffeners may be required to stiffen the slender web.
Understanding steel connection rigidity is crucial in structural design. Often, connections are treated as strictly pinned or rigid, but this can lead to uneconomical or even dangerous design checks. Explore how Dlubal Software's RFEM and Steel Joints add-on help verify connection stiffness and moment resistance, ensuring safer and more economical design checks.
In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
The "Create surface cells due to openings" option is available to you in the surface shortcut menu. It allows you to easily create the lines for the columns of timber panel walls (using the "Beam Panel" thickness type), for example.
In the "Import Support Reaction" load wizard, the "Free Loads" object connection type is available in addition to the "Manual" ones. This option saves you the task of manually assigning the support reactions to specific nodes and lines. The support forces of the connected model are applied as free loads in the case of this option.
You can use the "Spline with minimum curvature" type of surface geometry to generate curved surfaces on the basis of control nodes in the middle of the surface.
You can use this option to model terrain surfaces, for example.
In the result diagrams in the surface point, you can simply select the mesh nodes in the graphic to display the detailed results at this point.
What is the meaning of the error message "Incompatible calculation options" for members with linear section distribution (tapers)?
Is it possible to reduce the memory requirements of a printout report in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?
Why do I only obtain the total reinforcement in the Results navigator under "Required Reinforcement", and no result for the top and bottom reinforcements separately?
How can I change the units of result values?
How can I automatically unify two points that are close to each other?
