Determination of Effective Sections
Advantages
Extend the cross-section program RSECTION with Effective Sections and discover many helpful features. For example, you can determine the effective sections according to the following standards:
EN 1993-1-5
- EN 1993-1-3
- EN 1999-1-1

Input
The Effective Sections extension is fully integrated in RSECTION. So there's no second program and window chaos that make your work difficult. Therefore, all input options of RSECTION are available to you. You only need to specify the standard group in the Base data, according to which the effective cross-section is to be determined. After importing the section into the main program RFEM or RSTAB, it is available for design in the Steel Design add-on like a library section. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Results
Are you just waiting for your results after the design? The design results are displayed in the usual way in the Steel Design add-on. In the corresponding output tables, you can find the classification, the effective section properties, and the design check, among other things. The stresses are displayed to you graphically on the effective section as well as on the gross section.
- Which cross-sections can I design with the "RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections" add-on module?
- Is it possible to model cold-formed sections in SHAPE‑THIN 8 and design them in RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections?
- The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- I received an error message “Surface of incompatible type... (Surface in upper plane of building story must be of ‘Load transfer’ type)” when running the calculation. What is the reason?
- My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
- How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s), Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s) Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the redundancy factor(s) ρ in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- My live load is less than or equal to 100 psf. How do I consider the reduced load factor in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
