this is a very humbling experience, RFM is much more powerful than what I usually use (Robot Structural), but I'm excite to learn to communicate with it.
I really really enjoy using this software and your videos are extremely helpful not only learning the software but helpful in understanding of structures engineering as well. There is one thing (button) I want to know if exist and if don't, would love to exist. In designing we usually mean checking the modelling against loading and selecting the appropriate member but when calculation are performed there was warning and checks but there was no button or option which say" Change all members" to suggested members by software. I saw this feature in Robot and it was extremely helpful and it was only feature I like in that software. Rest, I am love using Dlubal. Thank you for the videos.
Hi, @WaqasKhan-r6r9u! It is possible to modify or optimize group of members. Send your question via email to support@dlubal.com, please. We will explain the workflow with texts and images. Thanks
I am new a graduate engineer and I have started using Dlubal but I have a problem about extending beam without changing a dimension of a stucture .By the way I am enjoying your video it is very meticulously explained compared to the other videos I wacthed . Thank your so much for the job you done.
Hi, @lzzaintx809! To extend a beam in a Dlubal software product without changing the overall dimensions of the structure, you can use the "Extend or Shorten Line" feature. Here's a brief guide on how to do this in RFEM or RSTAB: Select the beam (line) you want to extend. Right-click to open the context menu and choose "Edit." In the "Edit" menu, look for the option to "Extend or Shorten Line" or a similar command. Enter the value by which you want to extend the beam. You can also specify a point to which the beam should be extended. Confirm your entry, and the software will extend the beam accordingly. Please note that extending a beam might affect the loads applied to it and the reactions at the supports, so you should check and adjust them if necessary. If you need to keep the overall dimensions of the structure unchanged while extending a beam, you might need to adjust other elements of the structure to accommodate this change. This could involve moving supports or modifying adjacent members.
Hello! Thank you for such an effective and inspirational video. The software really offers a lot of options. My question would be, is it possible to work with RFEM6 on models made in RFEM5.xx and how will it influence because of the new features in the new version. Are the users of the older version able again to work on the same model after saving it in RFEM6 or not? Thank you in advance!
Hi, Vuk! The model import in RFEM 6 does convert the available geometry and load data into the new fields as far as possible. Results, module inputs and protocols are not taken over here. However, there is no backwards compatibility. Once you are on RFEM 6, you cannot go back. We hope this was helpful, if you need further assistance, feel free to contact our free online-support.
Hello, Thanks for the valuable presentation. at 53:30, the presenter changed the effective length factor for columns about strong axses to be 3.5, although, he is doing second order analysis. And in another presentation, in which, quite similar example has been used used, the presenter, said that, according to EC3 and in case of second order analysis this effective length factor for columns has to be 1. (th-cam.com/video/L50rurRnRnw/w-d-xo.html) at 19:07. I hope you could explain, quite precisely, in which cases this factor has to be changed for columns acc. to EC3? THANKS.
Hi, Muhammad! If global imperfections are applied (misalignments) and then second-order theory is used, then the buckling length factor for the supports does not need to be increased. Otherwise, it must be increased accordingly - our colleague probably only entered the factor here for demonstration purposes.
@@DlubalEN Thanks for your answer. I hope, in the future, there will be a tutorial, in which you could explain the available methods for the analysis of steel structures acc. to EC3 by using RFEM or RSTAB. Such a tutorial is available on your TH-cam chanel, only, acc. to AISC 360-16 by your colleague from USA but acc. to EC3 is not exist.
Hello, on this new version RFEM6 some addons are in green and others in grey. what does it means the addons in grey? Is it an addon that is under development for this new version or is something else?

Thanks for pointing out. We will take this into account. Have a nice Holiday season!
Hello, on this new version RFEM6 some addons are in green and others in grey. what does it means the addons in grey? Is it an addon that is under development for this new version or is something else?
Hi, Eugenio!
grey means, that the respective Add-Ons are under development.
@@DlubalEN ok, thank you
