ALUMINUM ADM Add-on Module for RSTAB 8

• Design of members and sets of members for tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, and combined internal forces
• Stability analysis of buckling and lateral-torsional buckling
• Automatic determination of effective radius of gyration by special integrated FEA software (eigenvalue analysis) for general loading and support conditions
• Alternative analytical calculation of effective radius of gyration for standard situations
• Optional application of discrete lateral supports to beams
• Definition of nodal supports for sets of members
• Serviceability limit state design (deflection)
• Cross-section optimization
• A wide range of available cross-sections, such as rolled I-sections, channel sections, T-sections, angles, rectangular and circular hollow sections, round bars, and many others.
• Detailed result documentation including references to design equations of the used standard
• Various filter and sorting options of results, including result lists by member, cross-sections, and x-location, or by load case, load and result combination
• Result table of member slenderness and governing internal forces
• Metric and imperial units

The first results window shows the maximum design ratios with the corresponding design of each designed load case, load combination, or result combination.

The other result windows list all detailed results sorted by specific subject in extendable tree menus. All intermediate results along a member can be displayed at any location. In this way, you can easily retrace how the module has performed the individual designs.

The complete data from the module are part of the RFEM/RSTAB printout report.
