I am currently writing a project paper on the topic of timber-concrete composite construction and have tried to create a model in RFEM. Unfortunately, the deformation of the concrete slab is much too large in my case, which is probably due to the incorrect composite action between timber and concrete. I don't know what to do now or how exactly to create the composite action. I have already watched a video about it and asked the AI for help. Maybe someone could help me with my problem.
Hi Jennifer.Richter, and welcome to the Dlubal Community ![]()
Thank you for your message!
To analyze the problem more precisely, the model file would be very helpful:
Click on File → Save As and select the following settings to reduce the file size:

Then upload the file here (e.g. *.rf6, *.rs9) – this way the community can also contribute to the solution.
Don’t want to share the file publicly? No problem – send it to me via direct message: click on my profile picture or my username → Message.
Best regards
