I am performing an analysis according to General Method 6.3.4 EN 1993‑1‑1 and have activated the addition "Adapted Method According to Naumes". The critical factor α*crit is displayed in red. Should I be worried?
The design is not successfully accomplished in RF‑/STEEL or in RF‑/STEEL EC3. RF /STEEL EC3 displays the warning "Maximum allowable thickness of material exceeded". What should I do?
Are the boundary conditions transferred from RFEM/RSTAB when performing the analysis with RF‑/STEEL Warping Torsion or with the General Method in RF‑/STEEL EC3?
I am designing a single-symmetric cross-section (T‑section) and get the message "Non-designable: ER056) The General Method is applicable only for I‑sections." Why?
Is it possible to automatically consider the system strength coefficient ksys or the coefficient for considering the local load concentration km,loc in the cross-laminated timber design with RF‑LAMINATE?
What does the design information mean: Geometry error left side: End plate of the girder: Lambda2 >1.4 Column flange: Lambda2 >1.4 I cannot find an explanation in the manual or online.
In an older model of RFEM 4 or RSTAB 7, I designed a SHAPE‑THIN cross-section or a general cross-section in STEEL EC3. At that time, cross-section Class 1 or 2 was determined. Now, I have opened the model in RFEM 5 and the cross-section is only classified as Class 3 or Class 4. Why? Was the design more cost-efficient at the time?
