Consideration of the effects of distortional buckling of cold-formed sections via eigenvalue method
Determination of the stresses on the effective section and gross section
Cross-section, stability, and serviceability limit state design checks of RSECTION cross-sections of Class 4 according to EN 1993‑1‑1 or EN 1999‑1‑1 in the Steel Design or Aluminum Design add-ons
Cross-section checks for cold-formed RSECTION cross-sections according to EN 1993‑1‑3 in the Steel Design add-on
Available for all National Annexes integrated in the Steel Design add-on
The Effective Sections extension is fully integrated in RSECTION. Thus, there is no second program and window chaos that make your work difficult. Therefore, all input options of RSECTION are available to you. You only need to specify the standard group in the Base data, according to which the effective cross-section is to be determined. After importing the section into the main program RFEM or RSTAB, it is available like a library section for design in the Steel Design. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Are you just waiting for your results after the design? The design results are displayed in the usual way in the Steel Design add-on. In the corresponding output tables, you can find the classification, the effective section properties, and the design check, among other things. The stresses are displayed to you graphically on the effective section as well as on the gross section.
