For a buckling analysis, PLATE‑BUCKLING determines the governing shear stress of τ = 7.45 kN/cm², while RF‑/STEEL gives the result of the maximum shear stress of τ = 8.20 kN/cm². Where does this difference come from?
I would like to design a glass pane with temperature loads. In this case, a message appears saying that the load case includes "temperature" surface load types that are not transferred to the created temporary model. How can I consider temperature loads?
I have designed a steel column with the RF‑/KAPPA add-on module in RSTAB, Version 4. When designing the steel column in Version 8 of RSTAB now, I get more cost-effective results. What could be the reason for this?
