RF-STABILITY | Input

First of all, it is necessary to select a load case or combination whose axial forces are to be used in the stability analysis. It is possible to define another load case to, for example, For example, you have to consider an initial prestress.

Then, you can select the linear or non-linear analysis to be performed. Depending on the application, you can use a direct calculation method, such as according to Lanczos or the ICG iteration method. Members not integrated in surfaces are usually displayed as member elements with two FE nodes. It is not possible to determine the local buckling of single members on these elements. Therefore, you have the option to divide members automatically.
