Answer:
Please check whether you have selected sets of members for the design in General Data: The module extension RF‑/STEEL Warping Torsion can only be used for the design of sets of members, not for individual members.
Question
I am analyzing a member model and have activated warping torsion. Why is the warping analysis not performed?
Do you have any questions?

This technical article deals with the stability analysis of a roof purlin, which is connected without stiffeners by means of a bolt connection on the lower flange to have a minimum manufacturing effort.
The critical factor for lateral-torsional buckling or the critical buckling moment of a single-span beam will be compared according to different stability analysis methods.
As of the program version X.11, the filter options of small compression forces or moments for stability analysis in RF‑/STEEL EC3 have been revised. The revision of these filter options in the "Stability" tab of the "Details" dialog box allows you to work in the module transparently, since they are now independent of the design.
The following structure is covered as Example IV.10 in [1] "Comment on Eurocode 3". For a support with a linearly varying cross‑section, a sufficient ultimate limit state design (cross‑section check and stability analysis) is to be performed. Due to the unequal structural component, it is necessary to perform the stability analysis (from the main support direction) using the method according to Section 6.3.4, or alternatively, according to the second‑order analysis.
Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
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.
I use RF-/STEEL Warping Torsion to design an eccentrically modeled wall beam, which is loaded transversely with a distributed load. While the bending moments in the main program are zero at the member start and member end due to the hinges, RF‑/STEEL Warping Torsion outputs moments there. Thus, the span moment is reduced incorrectly. How do I get the boundary moments to zero?
How can I design any SHAPE‑THIN cross-section in detail in RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8?
When entering data in the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module, I get the error message "Incorrect location of the intermediate lateral restraint". Why?
How do you perform a lateral-torsional buckling analysis for asymmetric steel cross-sections?
I have modified cross-section properties or reduced stiffnesses of a member in RFEM/RSTAB. After a new calculation, the deformation of the structural system has adjusted itself to the new cross-section properties. However, this change is not taken into account when performing design in add-on modules.
To which axes do the support rotations and support eccentricities in RF‑/STEEL EC3 Warping Torsion refer?
