STEEL Add-on Module for RSTAB 8

STEEL performs general stress analysis by calculating the existing stresses and comparing the results with limit stresses.

In the process of stress analysis, the add-on module determines the maximum stresses of members and sets of members. The governing internal forces are also documented for each member. In addition, there is the option of an automatic optimization of cross-sections or thicknesses, including the export of modified cross-sections or surface thicknesses to the main program RSTAB 8.

RF-/STEEL | Input

In order to facilitate the data input, surfaces, members, sets of members, materials, surface thicknesses, and cross-sections are preset. It is possible to select the elements graphically using the [Select] function. The program provides access to the global material and cross-section libraries.

Load cases, load combinations, and result combinations can be combined in various design cases.

The combination of surface and member elements and separate designs allows you to model and analyze only critical parts, such as frame joints, using surface elements. The other parts of the model can be designed using member analyses.

RF-/STEEL | Results

After the calculation, the maximum stresses and stress ratios are displayed sorted by sections, members/surfaces, member sets, or x-locations. In addition to the tabular result values, the corresponding cross-section graphic with stress points, stress diagram, and values is displayed as well. The design ratio can be related to any kind of stress type. The current location is highlighted in the RFEM/RSTAB model.

In addition to the result evaluation in the module, it is possible to represent the stresses and stress ratios graphically in the RFEM/RSTAB work window. It is possible to individually adjust the colors and values.

Result diagrams of a member or set of members facilitate targeted evaluation. Furthermore, you can open the respective dialog box of each design location to check the design-relevant section properties and stress components of any stress point. It is possible to print the corresponding graphic, including all design details.
