In cross‑sections created in SHAPE‑THIN, the openings, such as bolt holes, can be modeled by using the elements with zero thickness. The program provides two options for calculating shear stresses in the area of such null elements.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can analyze members with a variable cross-section, which can also consist of freely defined SHAPE-THIN cross-sections. The cross-section properties are interpolated in order to determine the internal forces and deformations.
Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.
This article shows how to manage the input data for member and surface design configurations within the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on.
You can display the stress results within members by using clipping planes.
The deformation process of the global deformation components can be represented as a movement sequence.
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
Compared to the RF‑/STEEL add-on module (RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8), the following new features have been added to the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9:
- Treatment of members, surfaces, solids, welds (line welded joints between two and three surfaces with subsequent stress design)
- Output of stresses, stress ratios, stress ranges, and strains
- Limit stress depending on the assigned material or a user-defined input
- Individual specification of the results to be calculated through freely assignable setting types
- Non-modal result details with prepared formula display and additional result display on the cross-section level of members
- Output of the design check formulas used
