Cross-sections created in SHAPE‑THIN 8 cannot be designed in RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections according to EN 1993‑1‑3 and EN 1993‑1‑5.
However, cold-formed sections modeled in SHAPE‑THIN 9 can be designed in RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections.

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.
The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
