Question:
I have a SHAPE‑THIN 9 license, but I cannot transfer the created cross-section into the RFEM program. What is the problem?
Answer:
The problem is in the RFEM version. SHAPE‑THIN 9.01 was released together with RFEM version 5.22.01. The files created in SHAPE‑THIN 9 have the format *.du9. RFEM versions older than 5.22.01 do not recognize this extension, thus cross-sections created in a newer version cannot be loaded.

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
In the Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on, you can use built-up cross-sections by means of what are known as phase sections. This allows you to activate and deactivate the parts of the "Parametric - Massive II" section type throughout the construction stages.
