Section Properties and Stress Analysis
Advantages
Customer Projects
Fascinating customer projects designed with the Dlubal structural analysis software.
Have you been busy calculating cross-sections for a very long time? Dlubal Software can make your work easier. The stand-alone program '''RSECTION''' determines the section properties for any thin-walled and massive cross-sections. Then, it performs a stress analysis for you. This can save you a lot of time and effort in order to invest both more reasonably: in the further planning of your project.
With us, the programs work hand in hand. In RSECTION, you also have the option to connect to the structural FEA software RFEM and the structural frame & truss analysis software RSTAB. The RSECTION cross-sections are also available in the RFEM and RSTAB library. Conversely, you can import the internal forces from RFEM and RSTAB into RSECTION.
Corresponding data is entered easily. It is done graphically, in tables, by importing a DXF file, or via script.

Input
RSECTION contains an extensive library of rolled sections, as well as parametric thin-walled and massive cross-sections You can compose them or supplement them with new elements.
Graphical tools and functions allow you to model 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. As an alternative, you can import a DXF file and use this as the basis for further modeling. You can easily model a section consisting of different materials with minimum effort.
Furthermore, a parameterized input allows you to enter the cross-section dimensions and internal forces in such a way that they depend on certain variables.
You can also carry out all inputs by means of a script.

Calculation
RSECTION calculates all relevant cross-section properties. This also includes the plastic limit internal forces. In the case of cross-sections consisting of different materials, RSECTION determines the ideal cross-section properties.
You have various options with RSECTION. For example, you can calculate the stresses from axial force, biaxial bending moments and shear forces, primary and secondary torsional moment, as well as warping bimoment for any cross-section shape. Determine the equivalent stresses according to the stress hypothesis by von Mises, Tresca, and Rankine.

Results
RSECTION also offers everything you need in terms of overview. You can evaluate and visualize all results in an appealing numerical and graphical form. Selection functions support you in the targeted evaluation.
The printout report corresponds to the high standards of the FEA software RFEM and the frame analysis software RSTAB. Any modifications are updated automatically. You don't have to do anything for it.

Thin-Walled Analysis in RSECTION 1
This article is discussing the thin-walled analysis method in RSECTION 1, with which the section properties for both gross and effective cross-sections are calculated analytically (based on the section’s elements).
- When importing a cross-section from RSECTION 1, I get an error message regarding the version. What can I do?
- When using the search function of the cross-section library, a lot of similar cross-section series are displayed. How can I limit the search results to the exact cross-section description?
- When modeling, I use the "Auto connect lines/members" function. However, RFEM 6 always creates a connection node of the "on member" type. How do I proceed to automatically divide the members?
- How can I activate or deactivate the "Drag and Drop" function?
- Is it possible to borrow an online license of RFEM 6/RSTAB 9 over an extended period of time?
- I signed in with my Dlubal online license at 12:39 AM (Central European Summer Time). I would like to reserve the license for 24 hours. However, my account shows me that my session will end at 10:39 AM. What has caused this difference?
- I have display problems in RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION 1, or the program crashes immediately after starting it. What options do I have to improve this?
- Does the analysis method selected in RSECTION affect the cross-section design in RFEM/RSTAB?
- I would like to model a frame beam with a tapered cross-section. For this, I have created a member with the cross-section distribution "Tapered at member start". However, the resulting cross-section is displayed incorrectly in the rendering. What is the problem here?
- What is the difference between the "Finite Element Analysis" and the "Thin-Walled Analysis"?
