The model presented in the video demonstrates the use of the equivalent member method according to EN 1993-1-1 (6.3.1 to 6.3.3) for the stability analysis of members and member sets with a uniform cross-section. As soon as a tapered cross-section is present, RF-/STEEL EC3 automatically switches to the general method to ensure applicability in such cases as well. This leads to precise and reliable calculations for varying cross-section shapes.
