Punching shear check outside a column head

Hi,
I'm trying to perform a punching shear check outside of an enlarged column head. In my case, the column head is modelled as a 350-mm-thick slab that fills an opening in a 250-mm-thick slab with a column in the middle. I enabled punching shear check at the column end point and at all four corner points of the head, but these points have no results because, as I assume, they are not recognized as supports. Checking punching shear on slabs with enlarged column heads was possible in RFEM 5, is it still possible in RFEM 6?

Thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately, enlarged column heads are not yet available in RFEM 6 .
I’ve added you to the list of users interested in this feature and hope we’ll be able to offer it in a future version.
