Representatives are templates for 1D objects with identical properties with regard to the material, cross-section, member type, and length. These representatives can be understood as "member templates". They facilitate the evaluation and documentation of results. Since only a member or a member set with the governing internal forces of all similar types is analyzed, the representatives provide a good overview in both the program and the printout.
General information about using representatives can be found in the chapters Member Representatives and Member Set Representatives of the RFEM manual.
In the Objects to Design input table, select the representatives for the design. You can also activate the members or member sets contained therein for design if you want the output for the individual objects.
