Question:
I have entered cross-sections U180 and a flat steel 30 x 300. Unfortunately, I cannot connect the cross-sections together, and no related cross-section is calculated.

Answer:
The "Connect Node and Element" function allows you to connect unconnected cross-section parts that are at a certain distance from an element. The connection is made using an element with a zero thickness. This feature is available in the menu "Edit" → "Connect Node and Element".
