I am developing the case of Spectrum Response in one model, but I want to keep the right sing of the dominant mode for the internal forces (N,Vy,Vz,T,My,Mz). However, in my software, I cannot find this option. This is the view of the options I can see:
However, in the website of the Dlubal Company, in the section "Spectral Analysis Settings" (this is the link):
https://www.dlubal.com/en/downloads-and-information/documents/online-manuals/rfem-6-rstab-9-dynamic-analysis/002683#h-3
I found in one of the screenshots, the next figure:
In where, it is possible to activate this option "Signed results using dominant mode". My question is how can I activate this option in RFEM6 in my computer? I have the last version of the software

Hello @PabloEnriqueqr86,
the function is currently still in development and is therefore not available in RFEM at the moment.

Thank you very much for the answer.
However, I would like to know what is the meaning of the values given in the tables when i Choose the results of the "response Spectrum" for any frame:
This is of the results of one of the extremes values of one member:
As it is shown, the values are reported as a matriz, in which they are N,Vy,Vz,Mt,My and Mz for the columnas and the rows. When I analize the matriz, the diagonal vales represented the values which I can see in the model itself. However, I would like to know how I can interpret this "Matriz" of values.
I uploaded the file here so that you can check how I can configurate the Load Case "SISMO"
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards

Hello @PabloEnriqueqr86,
the result table of the spectral analysis shows the results for the combination of response spectra (in your model according to the CQC method). The internal force designation in the rows indicates which internal force is considered as the governing force in the respective row. The internal forces in the columns are the associated internal forces to the governing internal force. So, if you want to perform a buckling check, you should look at the row "N" and there you will find the maximum axial force for the member along with the associated other internal forces.

Hello Rebecca Göbel,
Thank you very much for the explanation. I now have a clearer understanding of what the internal forces indicated in the table represent.
Best regards,
