Compared to the RF‑/STEEL EC3 add-on module (RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8), the following new features have been added to the Steel Design add-on for RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9:
- In addition to Eurocode 3, other international standards are integrated (such as AISC 360, CSA S16, GB 50017, SP 16.13330)
- Consideration of hot-dip galvanizing (DASt guideline 027) in the fire protection design according to EN 1993‑1‑2
- Input option for transverse stiffeners that can be taken into account in the shear buckling analysis
- Lateral-torsional buckling can also be checked for hollow sections (for example, relevant for slender, high rectangular hollow sections)
- Automatic detection of members or member sets valid for the design (for example, automatic deactivation of the members with invalid material or the members already contained in a set of members)
- Design settings can be adjusted individually for each member
- Graphical display of the results in the gross section or the effective section
- Output of the used design check formulas (including a reference to the used equation from the standard)
