This video shows how to import internal forces in RSECTION. RSECTION offers the possibility - in addition to the manual definition of internal forces - to import internal forces from RSTAB or RFEM.
In RSECTION you must first create a load case before you can import internal forces. Furthermore, you must have saved the relevant RSTAB or RFEM file with results. In the 'Import internal forces' dialog you can then select the source model and location as well as the load case or load combination from which to import the internal forces.

Plate girder is an economical choice for long spans construction. I-section steel plate girder typically has a deep web to maximize its shear capacity and flange separation, yet thin web to minimize the self-weight. Due to its large height-to-thickness (h/tw) ratio, transverse stiffeners may be required to stiffen the slender web.

When performing a design according to EN 1993‑1‑3, it is possible to graphically display a mode shape for the distortional buckling of a cross-section, and for the RSECTION cross-sections.
The mode shape can also be output in RSECTION 1 for library cross-sections.
