Question:
Is it possible to use the PLATE‑BUCKLING add-on module for the design of tapered members or trapezoidal panels?
Answer:
The PLATE‑BUCKLING add-on module allows you to calculate only rectangular buckling panels.
The panel is entered in Window 1.1 of the add-on module. Another option is to create the panel from an existing RFEM or RSTAB file by selecting the respective c/t-part.
