4.1.3 Cold-Formed

Cold-Formed

If the Perform design for cold-formed cross-sections check box in the Details dialog box has been selected (see Chapter 3.1.7), the intermediate values required for the design of cold-formed sections according to [3] appear in the table below.

Figure 4.6 Window 2.1 Design by Load Case with intermediate values for Effective Cross-Section Properties of a cold-formed section

The effective cross-section properties are output separately for the effects of axial force, bending about y, and bending about z. For the stability analysis, the interaction between axial force and bending moment with the effective cross-section values according to EN 1993-1-1 [1] or the interaction relation [3] (6.36) is used, depending on the specification.
