Effective Length

Generally, the "effective length" can be regarded as a length based on the member length but different due to the specific boundary conditions. In the environment of Dlubal Software, it is mostly used as a generic term or synonym for the buckling length or the lateral-torsional buckling length. Therefore, you can see this term especially in the member design modules performing stability analyses.
