Activation and Calculation of Cross-Section Deformation According to EN 1993-1-1

How can I enter the torsional rigidity (cross-section deformation) in the rotational restraint? I cannot find it anywhere in the program.


Answer:

Cross-section deformations can be activated or deactivated in the parameters of members and sets of members (see Image 01). The cross-section deformation is calculated according to EN 1993‑1‑1 as follows:


After the calculation, the value is displayed in the result tables (see Image 02).

The information about calculating the value can be found in the relevant literature or in the manual for the RF‑LTB add-on module.
