ALUMINUM Add-on Module for RSTAB 8

• Design of tension, compression, bending, shear, and combined internal forces
• Stability analysis for flexural buckling, torsional buckling, and lateral-torsional buckling
• Automatic determination of critical buckling loads and critical moment for lateral-torsional buckling by means of integrated FEA program (eigenvalue analysis) from boundary conditions of loads and supports
• Optional application of discrete lateral supports to beams
• Automatic or manual cross-section classification
• Integration of parameters from National Annexes (NA) of the following countries:
  • DIN EN 1999-1-1/NA:2010-12 (Germany)
  • NBN EN 1999-1-1/ANB:2011-03 (Belgium)

• Serviceability limit state design for characteristic, frequent, or quasi-permanent design situation
• Consideration of transverse welds
• Variety of cross-sections provided; for example, I‑sections, C‑sections, rectangular hollow sections, square sections, angles with equal and unequal legs, flat steel, round bars
• Clearly arranged result tables
• Automatic cross-section optimization
• Detailed result documentation with references to the design equations used and described in the standard
• Filter and sorting options for results, including result lists by member, cross‑section, and x‑location, or by load cases, load combinations, and result combinations
• Result window of member slenderness and governing internal forces
• Parts list with weight and solid specifications
• Seamless integration in RFEM/RSTAB
• Metric and imperial units

The first result window shows the maximum design ratios with the corresponding design for each designed load case and combination.

The other windows show all detailed results sorted by specific topics. It is possible to display all intermediate results of each location along the members. In this way, you can easily retrace how the module has performed the individual designs.

The complete module data are part of the RFEM/RSTAB printout report. You can select the report contents and extent specifically for the individual designs.
