According to EN 1993‑1‑5, Chap. 10 (3), Note 1, and DIN 188800‑3, El. (501), Note 1, the design in RF‑/PLATE‑BUCKLING is always carried out on the entire buckling panel since any existing stiffeners are considered in the FE model.
Thus, design checks for single and partial panels are omitted.

Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
