[EN] FAQ 003306 | I would like to use a cross-section that is not included in the cross-section library...

Question:
I would like to use a cross-section that is not included in the cross-section library of RFEM and RSTAB. Is it possible to get this cross-section?

Answer:
With the SHAPE‑THIN add-on module (thin-walled cross-sections) and SHAPE‑MASSIVE add-on module (thick-walled cross-sections), it is possible to model almost any cross-sections that are entered graphically, in tables, or by importing a DXF file. 

For SHAPE‑THIN and SHAPE‑MASSIVE, there are connection possibilities to RFEM and RSTAB. Thus, the cross-sections can be transferred to RFEM and RSTAB, calculated, and designed in the add-on modules (SHAPE‑THIN cross-sections only).
