The stand-alone program RSECTION determines the section properties for any thin-walled and massive cross-sections and performs a stress analysis.
RSECTION can be connected to the FEA software RFEM and the structural frame analysis software RSTAB. Sections from RSECTION are also available in the RFEM and RSTAB library. Conversely, internal forces from RFEM and RSTAB can be imported into RSECTION.
You can enter the data graphically, in tables, by importing a DXF file, or via script.

Input
Graphical tools and functions allow for modeling complex section shapes in the usual way common for CAD programs. The graphical input supports, among other things, the setting of arcs, circles, ellipses, parabolas, and NURBS. Alternatively, it is possible to import a DXF file that is used as the basis for further modeling. It is possible to model a section consisting of different materials.
Furthermore, a parameterized input allows you to enter the section dimensions and internal forces in such a way that they depend on certain variables.
All inputs can also be done by means of scripts.

Calculation
RSECTION calculates all relevant cross‑section properties including the plastic limit internal forces. For sections consisting of different materials, RSECTION determines the ideal cross-section properties.
The stresses from axial force, biaxial bending moments and shear forces, primary and secondary torsional moment, as well as warping bimoment can be calculated for any cross-section shape. You can determine the equivalent stresses according to the stress hypothesis by von Mises, Tresca, and Rankine.

Results
All results can be evaluated and visualized in an appealing numerical and graphical form. Selection functions facilitate the targeted evaluation.
The printout report corresponds to the high standards of the FEA software RFEM and the frame analysis software RSTAB. Modifications are updated automatically.

In RFEM, RSTAB, and SHAPE-THIN, you can use formulas to determine a numerical value.
- Can I import a SHAPE‑THIN cross-section into RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?
- Where in the Dlubal extranet can I download my RFEM / RSTAB authorization file?
- What is the difference between SHAPE‑THIN 9 and SHAPE‑THIN 8?
-
How can I find overlapping elements and revise the modeling?
- After installing SHAPE-THIN, I receive Error 1000: Error in Material Library. How do I resolve this?
- After calculating the cross-section data, an ellipse is displayed in the cross-section. In addition to the coordinate system, there are wide lines displayed above the x- and y-axis. Which displays are we talking about here? How can I deactivate it?
- I cannot manage to correctly import the cross-section from a dxf file into the SHAPE‑THIN program, the imported cross-section is in a wrong plane. What can I do?
- In which drawing plane must a cross-section be drawn in a CAD application so that it can be imported into SHAPE‑THIN using the dxf import?
- The installation of a Dlubal Software program is not possible due to the following message: "Program unsafe, protection by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen." How can I install the program?
- I get the following message when starting all installed Dlubal programs (also when running as administrator): "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)." What can I do?
