Material Allocation for Hybrid SHAPE-THIN Cross-Sections

The material allocation for hybrid SHAPE‑THIN cross‑sections can be selected easily in RFEM and RSTAB. The prerequisite for this is the allocation of different materials to the cross‑section elements in SHAPE‑THIN.

Then, you can choose any material for the elements in the "Edit Cross-Section" dialog box. The elements are marked with a number that serves the purpose of allocation. Then, the ideal cross‑section properties are determined using the reference material. This option is used only for considering stiffness. Performing designs in the add-on modules is impossible.
