Question

After starting the calculation, RF‑/FRAME‑JOINT Pro opens Window "1.2 Cross‑Sections" and the following message appears: "Value is out of range. Existing value: 0.00 - Min value: 3.00". However, I cannot see any errors.


Answer:

The column consists of a parameterized I‑section (welded cross-section). To be able to use it in RF‑/FRAME‑JOINT Pro, it is also necessary to specify the thickness of the web weld. On one hand, the weld is determined in the tension area; on the other hand, the thickness of it is also included in the calculation of the effective length of the T‑stub in RF‑/FRAME‑JOINT Pro.
