In the "Plastic capacity design | | Simplex method", RSECTION not only varies the normal stresses, but also the shear stresses over the cross-section area. This extended form of analysis allows you to use redistribution reserves, especially for the cross-sections subjected to shear loading, thus loading the cross-sections even more efficiently.

Everything is online. The same is true for the Dlubal licenses for RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION. This article contains information about using and managing online licenses, reserving licenses, checking the license validity, and moving authorizations between the licenses.
This article shows how to create cross-sections using DXF files.
Spreadsheet programs like MS EXCEL are very popular with engineers because they allow you to simply automate your calculations and quickly output the results. Therefore, combining MS EXCEL used as a graphical interface with Dlubal's WebService API is an obvious choice. By using the free xlwings library for Python, you can control EXCEL, and read and write values. The functionality is described in the following, using an example.
The stand-alone program RSECTION is at your disposal for determining section properties and performing stress analysis for thin-walled and massive cross-sections. The program can be connected to both RFEM and RSTAB so that sections from RSECTION are also available in the RFEM and RSTAB library. Likewise, internal forces from RFEM and RSTAB can be imported into RSECTION.
In the cross-section program RSECTION, you can generate parts in the corners when creating new elements.
In RFEM, you can generate surfaces from members with the library cross-sections as well as from the members with the RSECTION cross-section.

You can open the cross-sections in RSECTION using a direct connection, modify them there, and transfer them back to RFEM/RSTAB. Both RSECTION cross-sections and library cross-sections, with the exception of elliptical, semi-elliptical and virtual joists, can be opened and modified directly in RSECTION by clicking a button.
For example, you can thus adjust the reinforcement layout of user-defined RSECTION cross-sections directly in a local RSECTION environment in RFEM/RSTAB. This feature is currently only available for cross-sections with a uniform distribution type. The shear and longitudinal reinforcement defined for library cross-sections is not imported into RSECTION.
I would like to use my account for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, but apparently I'm not authorized to do so. Is there any way to allow this?
When creating a new part in RSECTION 1 using all the boundary lines, why do I get an error saying that the lines are not closed?
How can I open the links to the sources of Mia's answers in RFEM 6, RSTAB 9, and RSECTION 1?
Is it possible to perform stability analysis according to EN 1999‑1‑1 in RSECTION 1?
