Crack width, depth, distance and Required Reinforcement (Limit State)

Good afternoon, Dlubal RFEM 5 offers a number of useful features for reinforced concrete analysis compared to Dlubal RFEM 6:

  1. The selected reinforcement can be viewed using ULS, SLS, and as a result. In Dlubal RFEM 6, reinforcement is only displayed as the largest of the SLS and ULS values. I would like to see the same display in RFEM 6 as in RFEM 5.

  2. Dlubal RFEM 5 allows you to display the crack opening direction, while in RFEM 6 you can only select the upper or lower zone.

3, 4, 5. Dlubal RFEM 5 allows you to view crack depth and the spacing between cracks during nonlinear reinforced concrete analysis.

I would like to see these features in RFEM 6

Hello Vasya,

This is a great bunch of features. Thank you for your efforts! :handshake:

Afterwards, I will reply point by point.

1: In RFEM 6 this is implemented even more user-friendly. You can now select the design situation on top of the design checks and the calculated reinforcement:

2: This feature request is already known and currently under development (RUS 4329).

3, 4, 5: We are already working on implementing these results. At the moment the following results are implemented for nonlinear concrete. The other ones are now under development (RUS 4074).

Best regards,
Marc
