Question

I have just noticed that the STEEL EC3 add-on module also calculates with γM0 = 1.0 when designing a tension member, although it should actually be γM2 = 1.25. How can I perform the design correctly?


Answer:
In order for the program to calculate the failure due to tension, the "Net Cross-Sectional Area" function must be activated in the "Parameters - Members" window.
