Compared to the RF-/STEEL Warping Torsion add-on module (RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8), the following new features have been added to the Torsional Warping (7 DOF) add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9:
- Complete integration into the environment of RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9
- 7th degree of freedom is directly taken into account in the calculation of members in RFEM/RSTAB on the entire system
- No more need to define support conditions or spring stiffnesses for calculation on the simplified equivalent system
- Combination with other add-ons is possible, for example for the calculation of critical loads for torsional buckling and lateral-torsional buckling with stability analysis
- No restriction to thin-walled steel sections (it is also possible to calculate ideal overturning moments for beams with massive timber sections, for example)
