[EN] FAQ 004599 | How can I calculate stresses in SHAPE‑THIN?

Question:
How can I calculate stresses in SHAPE‑THIN?

Answer:
If you want to calculate stresses in SHAPE‑THIN, it is necessary to create at least one load case. You can create a new load case using:

Menu "Insert" → "Loads" → "New Load Case"

Shortcut menu of the "Load Cases" entry in the navigator

Entry in Table "2.1 Load Cases"

Furthermore, it is necessary to define internal forces. You can enter the internal forces using:

Menu "Insert" → "Loads" → "3.1 Internal Forces" → "Dialog Box"

Entry in Table "3.1 Internal Forces"

Import of internal forces from RFEM or RSTAB in Table "3.1 Internal Forces"

After the calculation, you can display the stresses graphically and in tables (Image 01). This is also shown in the video.
