Effective Sections is an extension of the section properties program RSECTION. Compared to the RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections add-on module for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8, the following new features have been added to Effective Sections:
- Consideration of the effects of distortional buckling of sections via eigenvalue method
- Definition of stiffeners and buckling panels no longer necessary
- Graphical display of unit stresses
- Optional manual definition of stress points
