Effective Sections

Extend the cross-section program RSECTION with Effective Sections and discover many helpful features. The software allows you to determine the stress and graphically display it on the effective cross-section and gross cross-section.

Furthermore, it is possible to determine the stresses on the effective section and gross section. The software performs the section design, stability analysis, and serviceability limit state design for RSECTION cross-sections of Class 4. It also allows for the cross-section design checks of cold-formed RSECTION cross-sections.

Determination of the stresses on the effective section and gross section
Cross-section, stability, and serviceability limit state design checks for RSECTION cross-sections of Class 4 according to EN 1993‑1‑1 in the Steel Design add-on
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

Effective Sections | Input

The Effective Sections extension is fully integrated in RSECTION. 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 for design in the Steel Design and Aluminum Design add-ons like a library section.

Effective Sections | Results

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.
