RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 | Speed Optimization when Opening Add-on Modules for Large Models

Opening add-on modules is very time-consuming for very large models that have results. How can I increase the speed?

Answer:

You can control the display of result tables in the details of all add-on modules. In this case, it is helpful to only display the results by load case or by material.

In the RF‑STEEL Surfaces add-on module, it is also possible to perform the calculation of enveloping values only.

Furthermore, it may be helpful to display the results in grid points. For the RF‑LAMINATE add-on module, it is also possible to completely hide the results of the grid points. A detailed description of this can be found here:
