Cold-Formed Steel Member Design According to EC3
RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections | Features
- Available for cold-formed L, Z, C, channel, top-hat, and CL sections from the cross-section database, as well as for general cold-formed (non-perforated) SHAPE-THIN-9 sections
- Determination of the effective cross-section considering the local buckling and the distortional buckling
- Cross-section ultimate limit state, stability, and serviceability limit state designs according to EN 1993‑1‑3
- Design of local transverse forces for webs without stiffening
- Available for all National Annexes included in RF-/STEEL EC3
- Module extension RF-/STEEL Warping Torsion (license required) for stability analysis according to second-order analysis as stress analysis including consideration of the 7th degree of freedom (warping)
RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections | Input
Since RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections is fully integrated in RF-/STEEL EC3, the data are entered in the same way as for the usual design in this module. It is only necessary to select the design option for cold-formed cross-sections in the Details dialog box.
RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections | Results
The design results are displayed in RF-/STEEL EC3 in the usual way.
Among other results, the corresponding result windows include the effective cross-section properties due to axial force N, bending moment My, bending moment Mz, internal forces, and design summary.
