The Steel Design add-on allows you to design steel members and surfaces according to various design standards. For members, you can carry out cross-section resistance checks, stability analyses, and serviceability limit state design checks; for surfaces, you can perform equivalent stress design and deflection analysis. The input and result evaluation are completely integrated in the user interface of the programs RFEM and RSTAB.
This manual describes the Steel Design add-on for the RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 programs. In RSTAB, only members and member sets can be designed, not surfaces.
