In RSECTION, the "Plastic capacity design | Simplex method" involves not only the variation of the axial stresses, but also the simultaneous variation of the shear stresses over the cross-sectional area. With this extended form of analysis, you can use redistribution reserves, especially for cross-sections subject to shear loads, and thus apply loads to the cross-sections even more efficiently.
