Answer:
In this case, take a look at the stress points in the cross-section details. If they are not accessible (grayed out), no stress points have been defined in SHAPE‑MASSIVE and the design is not possible. In SHAPE‑MASSIVE, it is necessary to activate the "Stresses by Stress Points" option in General Data. After recalculating and saving, the cross-section can be designed in the RF‑/STEEL add‑on module.
Question
In the RF‑/STEEL add-on module, I am trying to design a cross-section created in SHAPE‑MASSIVE. However, the cross-section is classified as invalid. What is the reason?

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.
This article presents the basic concepts in structural dynamics and their role in the seismic design of structures. Great emphasis is given to explaining the technical aspects in an understandable way, so that readers without deep technical knowledge can gain an insight into the subject.

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.
In the RF‑/STEEL add-on module, I am trying to design a cross-section created in SHAPE‑MASSIVE. However, the cross-section is classified as invalid. What is the reason?
When performing steel design in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9, I get the warning that the torsion is neglected in the stability design checks. What is the reason for this, and how can I avoid the warning message?
How many updates does Dlubal provide for RFEM 6/RSTAB 9 each month?
Where can I find the calculation parameters in RFEM 6?
I cannot activate the Cutting Patterns add-on. What is the reason?
I cannot activate the Timber Joints add-on. What is the reason?
