RFEM Interface to Nemetschek Allplan
Import in RFEM
You can import one or more surfaces to RFEM using IFC files. Thus, the structural data, such as nodes, lines, or material, are exported.
For example, you can export the floor plans as DXF and display them as a background layer in RFEM.
Export to Allplan
A reinforcement determined in RF-CONCRETE can be exported with an ASF file to Allplan. Allplan displays the reinforcement contours and FEA reinforcement color images.
If reinforcement is placed in the surface, the FEA reinforcement color images are adjusted, meaning that the reinforcement values of the placed reinforcement are substracted from the values of the required reinforcement.
Various design parameters of the cross-sections can be adjusted in the serviceability limit state configuration. The applied cross-section condition for the deformation and crack width analysis can be controlled there.
For this, the following settings can be activated:
- Crack state calculated from associated load
- Crack state determined as an envelope from all SLS design situations
- Cracked state of cross-section - independent of load
In the "Deflection and Design Support" tab under "Edit Member", the members can be clearly segmented using optimized input windows. Depending on the supports, the deformation limits for cantilever beams or single-span beams are used automatically.
By defining the design support in the corresponding direction at the member start, member end, and intermediate nodes, the program automatically recognizes the segments and segment lengths to which the allowable deformation is related. It also automatically detects whether it is a beam or a cantilever due to the defined design supports. The manual assignment, as in the previous versions (RFEM 5), is no longer necessary.
The "User-Defined Lengths" option allows you to modify the reference lengths in the table. The corresponding segment length is always used by default. If the reference length deviates from the segment length (for example, in the case of curved members), it can be adjusted.
This feature also contributes to the clearly-arranged display of your results. Clipping planes are intersecting planes that you can place freely throughout the model. The zone in front of or behind the plane is consequently hidden in the display. This way, you can clearly and simply show the results in an intersection or a solid, for example.
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.
