Question
Is it possible to design intermittent welds in the CRANEWAY add-on module?Answer
Yes, it is possible. The Intermittent weld seam option is suitable if the weld seam between the crane rail and the flange is not continuous. A parallel opposing arrangement is assumed. After you select the check box, you can specify the length of the weld seam and the interruption. These specifications are considered in the design.

Often, models are needed in several projects, like the purlin with columns and knee braces in this example. The dimensions can be changed directly in RFEM or RSTAB by shifting the nodes.
SHAPE-THIN | Cold-Formed Sections
SHAPE-THIN determines the effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-5 for cold-formed sections. You can optionally check the geometric conditions for the applicability of the standard specified in EN 1993‑1‑3, Section 5.2.
The effects of local plate buckling are considered according to the method of reduced widths and the possible buckling of stiffeners (instability) is considered for stiffened sections according to EN 1993-1-3, Section 5.5.
As an option, you can perform an iterative calculation to optimize the effective cross-section.
You can display the effective cross-sections graphically.
