Question:
When designing a beam, I would like to neglect the torsion included in the stability analyses using the filters described in Knowledge Base article #001498.
I define the filter, but the torsion warning appears at the same x‑location again. Do the design internal forces change, or why is that?
Answer:
The design internal forces do not change because no load modification has been defined. The torsional stresses are calculated once with Gamma M1 1.0 and once with Gamma M1 according to the National Annex, so that the warning can appear twice. If the filter is increased once more in the following, another x-location (or loading from LC/CO/RC) can also become governing for the warning.
