Selecting Nodes Along a Line by Means of COM Interface
If you read out the results of a surface via the COM interface, you get a one-dimensional field with all results at the FE nodes or grid points.Screenshots

SHAPE-THIN | Cold-Formed Sections
SHAPE-THIN determines the effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-5 for cold-formed sections. You can optionally check the geometric conditions for the applicability of the standard specified in EN 1993‑1‑3, Section 5.2.
The effects of local plate buckling are considered according to the method of reduced widths and the possible buckling of stiffeners (instability) is considered for stiffened sections according to EN 1993-1-3, Section 5.5.
As an option, you can perform an iterative calculation to optimize the effective cross-section.
You can display the effective cross-sections graphically.
Read more about designing cold-formed sections with SHAPE-THIN and RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections in this technical article: Design of a Thin-Walled, Cold-Formed C-Section According to EN 1993-1-3.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I set the calculation parameters by using the COM interface?
- How can I create a result beam by using the COM interface?
- How does the asynchronous calculation via the COM interface work?
- Is it possible to create nodal releases via the COM interface?
- Is it possible to display more values for the stress distribution over the layers in RF-LAMINATE?
- When modeling a beam connection to a continuous column, I have the problem that the column flange fails to bend. If I now add shims to the FRAME & # 8209; JOINT Pro add-on module, nothing changes at all design ratios. Why is that?
- I would expect the results from my load combination (CO) set to a linear analysis to equal the summation of the results from my load cases (LC) also set to a linear analysis. Why do the results not match?
- For a tapered member, I get the error message "Invalid (incompatible) arrangement ...". What can I do?
- As part of my bachelor thesis, I would like to integrate the RSTAB printout report into LaTeX. There, you can completely integrate a PDF document as shown in the viewer. This also works with any PDF document, but not with the printout report created by RSTAB. What could be the reason?
- I have defined a wind profile for RWIND Simulation up to a height of 100 m. Is the wind profile dependent on the size of the wind tunnel?
