Superposition of Several Geometric Imperfection Cases
Product Feature
In the "Group of Imperfection Cases" imperfection case, you can enter several geometric imperfection cases. This allows you to carry out GMNIA analyses where several geometric imperfections have to be superimposed.

Linear Critical Load Analysis Using Finite Strip Method (FSM)
This article presents the linear critical load analysis of cross-sections in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.
- How is the rotational stiffness of a buckling stiffener determined in PLATE‑BUCKLING?
- For a buckling analysis, PLATE‑BUCKLING determines the governing shear stress of τ = 7.45 kN/cm², while RF‑/STEEL gives the result of the maximum shear stress of τ = 8.20 kN/cm². Where does this difference come from?
- Are Dlubal Software programs applicable for calculations in mechanical engineering?
- How can I perform a stability/buckling analysis on a plate structure?
- In PLATE‑BUCKLING, the reduction factor due to column buckling χc is calculated using the modified slenderness of the sheet metal ${\overline{\mathrm\lambda}}_{\mathrm p}$. Why is it not calculated using the slenderness of the equivalent compression member ${\overline{\mathrm\lambda}}_{\mathrm c}$ ?
