Effective Length Factors for Aluminum and Steel Design
Answer
All effective length factors are preset to 1.0 by default. There is no calculation of the factors based on the model.
The effective length factors must be adjusted manually for the design, or they can be imported from the add‑on modules RSBUCK or RF‑STABILITY.

In the case of open cross-sections, the torsional load is removed mainly via secondary torsion, since the St. Venant torsional stiffness is low compared to the warping stiffness.
- I need to define different types of lateral intermediate restrains for a single element in RF-/STEEL EC3. Is this possible?
- The printout report of the STEEL EC3 results is too long. How can I reduce the content to a minimum?
- Can I design members with Class 4 sections according to CSA S16 in the Steel Design add-on?
