Does anyone have experience with time history analysis?
I created the model with a post-and-beam construction and glass panes that are connected to the post-and-beam via spring supports.
Symmetry conditions were specified at the bar ends of the beams.
Two loads were applied at the edges of the panes using a sinusoidal function.
Hi HansiG,
I have done quite some Time History Analysis within RFEM 6. It looks like you have zero results within your Time History Analysis. Please check on your Loading (examplic the direction) and Time Diagram input. You could also test a very high load magnitude just for forcing some results.
To analyse the problem more precisely, the model file would be very helpful:
Click on File → Save as and choose 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.
Prefer not to share the file publicly? No problem – send it to me via direct message: click on my profile picture or user name → Message.

Hello Thomas,
I am uploading my model here.
Thank you for your help, there is the possibility to apply two loads on the panes or a combined load on the center of the post, but unfortunately no results for the time history analysis in both cases, neither linear nor nonlinear.
I would be very grateful for any help.
Best regards

Hi HansiG,
I inspected the model. You did only place loads in your static Loadcase 1.
Your Time History Loadcase does not contain any loads.
Either you place loads also inside your Time History Loadcase, or you do use a Loadcombination to combine Loads from other Loadcases with Time Diagrams.
When placing loads within the Time History LC 3, you will receive results:

Hello Thomas,
Thanks already for your help.
At the bottom right of your screenshot, it still shows a few warning messages, do you know what that is about? It shows the same ones for me as well.
Best regards
Hannes
