This model of a frame structure can be opened with the finite element program RFEM. It was demonstrated in the free webinar "Stability Analysis for Steel Structures According to EC 3" on November 24, 2020 (in German) and December 1, 2020 (in English). It is suitable for analysis using the Equivalent Member method and the General Method according to EC 3 and Eurocode 3.

Want to automatically consider steel joint stiffness in your global RFEM model? Utilize the Steel Joints add-on!
Activate joint-structure interaction in the stiffness analysis of your steel joints. Hinges with springs are then automatically generated in the global model and included in subsequent calculations.

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.

The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
Is it possible to consider shear panels and rotational restraints in the global calculation?
