Question
I have designed a reinforced concrete column as a solid and would like to perform punching shear design for the connection of the column to the ceiling. Is it possible to use RF‑PUNCH Pro?
With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.
The stiffness of gas given by the ideal gas law pV = nRT can be considered in the nonlinear dynamic analysis.
The calculation of gas is available for accelerograms and time diagrams for both the explicit analysis and the nonlinear implicit Newmark analysis. To determine the gas behavior correctly, at least two FE layers for gas solids should be defined.
In RFEM, there is an option to couple surfaces with the stiffness types "Membrane" and "Membrane Orthotropic" with the material models "Isotropic Nonlinear Elastic 2D/3D" and "Isotropic Plastic 2D/3D" (add-on module RF-MAT NL is required).
This functionality enables simulation of the nonlinear strain behavior of ETFE foils, for example.
In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.
