• ### How can I change or parameterize the radius of a circular line?

004380

The radius of a circle can be adjusted in the "Edit Line" dialog box.

Click the button next to the text box to open the shortcut menu, where you can also define the formulas for determining the radius.
• ### What does CS271) ... or ST320) ... mean, or how can I create a connection to the standard?

The Design According to Formula column lists the equations of the standard used to carry out the design.

The abbreviations stand for the following designs:

CS Cross-section design
ST Stability analysis
SE Serviceability (SLS design)

The numbers directly behind it are internal information.

The lower table of the intermediate values shows the design formulas with the design conditions that are relevant for the selected design.
• ### How is it possible to record parameter lists and formulas in the printout report?

004233

The printout report provides no option to record the used parameter lists and formulas.

However, the parameter list and formulas can be exported to Excel by using the menu File → Export. For this, select the corresponding check boxes in the "Formulas and Parameters" dialog section of the "Export to Microsoft Excel - Settings" dialog box (Figure 01).

The export of the parameter list and formulas is also available in the "Export Table" dialog box (Figure 2), which can be opened by clicking the Excel button in the toolbar of the relevant table.

You could then add the Excel tables to the printout report as a text block, for example. This is shown in the video.

• ### Is it possible to read out the values from a table to use them for a parametric input?

003222

It is possible to select the values from the table by entering "&refcell" with the syntax "$table number(cell description)." Figure 01 shows a member with a length of 4.20 m. The length is shown in Table "1.17 Members" in Cell L1. This value can be used in the list of parameters or in the formula editor. For this, use the following formula for the system shown in Figure 01:$1.17(L1)

It is not possible to read out cells from the result table because of the circular reference.
• ### Why is the result of the formula calculation smaller by the factor 1000 compared to the numerical calculation, although there are no dimensions?

003015

When entering formulas with the values without dimensions, it is assumed that they refer to the SI units. If the sought unit is not a SI unit but a multiple of it (for example, kN instead of N), the result is factorized accordingly. The example in the figure would be 1000 N/m = 1 kN/m.
• ### Is it possible that the formula editor has a problem with units in combination with dimensionless parameters?

002837

When using formulas with units and unitless values, special attention should be paid to the syntax. If brackets are not used, a space must be inserted between the unit and the arithmetic units.
• ### Is it possible to use formulas when entering values for rotation of an object, for example, 180°/10?

Yes, it is possible. You can create your own parameters that will be used in formulas (see Figure 01). These parameters can help you to quickly get the values, for example, for loads, node coordinates, move/copy, and so on (see Figure 02).

• ### I would like to include formulas for designs in the printout report of STEEL EC3. How does this work?

In the printout report, there is the option to activate intermediate results. It is also possible to select the design formula ("Design Equation").

If not, contact us via our free e-mail, chat, or forum support, or send us your question via the online form.

#### First Steps

We provide hints and tips to help you get started with the main programs RFEM and RSTAB.

#### Wind Simulation & Wind Load Generation

With the stand-alone program RWIND Simulation, wind flows around simple or complex structures can be simulated by means of a digital wind tunnel.

The generated wind loads acting on these objects can be imported to RFEM or RSTAB.

#### Your support is by far the best

“Thank you for the valuable information.

I would like to pay a compliment to your support team. I am always impressed how quickly and professionally the questions are answered. I have used a lot of software with a support contract in the field of structural analysis, but your support is by far the best. ”
