The RSECTION program determines the section parameters of any type of thin-walled and solid cross-section and performs a stress analysis.
This user manual describes the functions for modeling, calculation, and result evaluation.

In RFEM, you can generate surfaces from members with the library cross-sections as well as from the members with the RSECTION cross-section.

You can open the cross-sections in RSECTION using a direct connection, modify them there, and transfer them back to RFEM/RSTAB. Both RSECTION cross-sections and library cross-sections, with the exception of elliptical, semi-elliptical and virtual joists, can be opened and modified directly in RSECTION by clicking a button.
For example, you can thus adjust the reinforcement layout of user-defined RSECTION cross-sections directly in a local RSECTION environment in RFEM/RSTAB. This feature is currently only available for cross-sections with a uniform distribution type. The shear and longitudinal reinforcement defined for library cross-sections is not imported into RSECTION.
In the "Plastic capacity design | | Simplex method", RSECTION not only varies the normal stresses, but also the shear stresses over the cross-section area. This extended form of analysis allows you to use redistribution reserves, especially for the cross-sections subjected to shear loading, thus loading the cross-sections even more efficiently.
