Elastic critical moment for lateral-torsional buckling

What are the options in RFEM 5 or RSTAB 8 for determining the ideal elastic critical moment for lateral-torsional buckling for any cross-sections and systems/loads? Is it also possible to design flat steel (brackets, flat steel stringers of staircases)?


Answer:

For a stability analysis of any cross-section, the add-on modules RF‑/STEEL EC3 Warping Torsion (extension for RF‑/STEEL EC3) and RF‑/FE‑LTB (stand-alone module) are particularly suitable.

By using the calculated critical buckling value, you can determine critical loads and perform the design according to the second-order analysis.
