Where can I find this RFEM5 function “Convert nodal load to surface load” in RFEM6?

Hello @Flo6000 👋,

This feature is currently not available in **RFEM 6**. However, I have noted you as an **interested party** for it.

At the moment, unfortunately, the only solution is the **manual creation of a corresponding surface load**.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, I am happy to help! 😊

Best regards,  
Fabian
