Question

In RSIMP, I generated imperfections on the basis of a buckling shape from RSBUCK. After the generation, I only get the values for the inclination. Why are all precambers zero?


Answer:

The values of the precamber are not displayed because the ordinate size of the buckling shape is probably so small that they are not taken into account with the tolerance set.

In the Details dialog box, you can define the "Tolerance of Member Imperfections"; that is, as of which ordinate size of the buckling shape or deformation the program should generate the imperfection.
