I would like to define a constant temperature load over the cross-section height. Why is it not possible to select the load direction in the local x-direction of the member for this?
The calculation of a critical load factor according to the second-order analysis in RSTAB results in a value that differs significantly from the result of RSBUCK.
I have idealized a taper using a start and end cross-section (calculated in SHAPE‑THIN) and calculated a frame. During the stress calculation in STEEL, the error message "Tapered member contains incompatible cross-sections" appears. What is the error?
The inclination according to DIN 18800 is applied with the value 1/φ0 = 300. However, I would have expected 200 as the initial value for one-piece members. What is the explanation for this?
