This video shows how you can employ the thin-walled analysis method in the stand-alone program RSECTION 1.

RSECTION contains an extensive library of rolled sections, as well as parametric thin-walled and massive cross-sections. You can compose them or supplement them with new elements.
Graphical tools and functions allow you to model complex section shapes in the usual way common for CAD programs. The graphical input supports, among other things, the setting of arcs, circles, ellipses, parabolas, and NURBS. As an alternative, you can import a DXF file and use this as the basis for further modeling. You can easily model a section consisting of different materials with minimum effort.
Furthermore, a parameterized input allows you to enter the cross-section dimensions and internal forces in such a way that they depend on certain variables.
You can also carry out all inputs by means of a script.

In the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on, you can use the option to specify sign-dependent limit stresses by stress component.

Get a better understanding of the stress distribution within member cross-sections by using clipping planes.

The deformation process of the global deformation components can be represented as a movement sequence.
