Answer:
In order to successfully import in a SHAPE‑THIN cross-section, it is important that the cross-section is calculated and saved with results in SHAPE‑THIN. Only then are the cross-section properties available for RFEM/RSTAB.
Question
I am unable to import a cross-section from SHAPE‑THIN into RSTAB. Can you help me?
Do you have any questions?

The SHAPE‑THIN and SHAPE‑MASSIVE cross-section programs are suitable for determining the cross-section properties of common thin-walled or thick-walled sections. These cross-section properties are also available for further analyses in RSTAB and RFEM.
In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.
This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.
The ASCE 7-22 Standard [1], Sect. 12.9.1.6 specifies when P-delta effects should be considered when running a modal response spectrum analysis for seismic design. In the NBC 2020 [2], Sent. 4.1.8.3.8.c gives only a short requirement that sway effects due to the interaction of gravity loads with the deformed structure should be considered. Therefore, there may be situations where second-order effects, also known as P-delta, must be considered when carrying out a seismic analysis.
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.
When running the project manager according to FAQ 002927, all files are displayed by default. How can I set the option to display only RFEM files without having to click RFEM each time?
The installation of a Dlubal Software program is not possible due to the following message: "Program unsafe, protection by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen". How can I install the program?
I get the following message when starting all installed Dlubal programs (also when running as administrator): "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)". What can I do?
The calculation of a file runs smoothly for my colleagues, but I get the message "Calculation stopped" for the same file. What should I do?
When starting Dlubal Software programs, the error message "Server is busy" appears. My colleagues do not experience this problem. I have already tried reinstallation. What should I do?
What is the difference between the dongle drivers of CRANEWAY and RFEM or RSTAB?
