When modeling and designing glass panes in RF-GLASS, you have two different options for the FE mesh settings.
When using the RF‑GLASS add‑on module, you can define just the geometry in the main program, as well as the load situation of the structural component to be designed. The respective support conditions and all further design-relevant definitions (for example, the layer structure and support conditions), can be further specified in RF‑GLASS.
The architectural requirements for guardrails are still very high, and railings usually require a high degree of transparency. Glass railings, which do not require a visible support frame, offer a possible solution.
Different glass types and layer structures are available for glass structures used for different purposes. The following types are usually used: float glass, partly tempered glass, and toughened safety glass.
The results of solid stresses can be displayed as colored 3D points in the finite elements.

The number of degrees of freedom in a node is no longer a global calculation parameter in RFEM (6 degrees of freedom for each mesh node in 3D models, 7 degrees of freedom for the warping torsion analysis). Thus, each node is generally considered with a different number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a variable number of equations in the calculation.
This modification speeds up the calculation, especially for models where a significant reduction of the system could be achieved (for example, trusses and membrane structures).
Display extended strains of members, surfaces, and solids (for example, the important principal strains, equivalent total strains, and so on) in the Project Navigator - Results in RFEM as well as in Table 4.0.
For example, you can display governing plastic strains when performing the plastic design of connections with surface elements.
RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Babylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.
You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to these instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download).
Is it possible to design a spherically curved glass pane in RF‑GLASS?
Is it possible to set user-defined values of the standard in RF‑GLASS?
Which stresses are most important for glass design consideration when using RF-GLASS?
I would like to design a glass pane with temperature loads. In this case, a message appears saying that the load case includes "temperature" surface load types that are not transferred to the created temporary model. How can I consider temperature loads?
How is coupling stiffness determined in RF‑GLASS?
A curved pane cannot be designed in RF‑GLASS. Why?
