Analysis of general cross-sections
The general cross-section created in the program "Section" may be analysed for arbitrary combination of axial force (N), bending moments (My and Mz) and shear forces (Vy and Vz). The elastic or plastic resistance may be considered in the analysis. The effective cross-section for the analysis of the class IV. can't be found by the software.
The buckling effect may be considered in the analysis. The effect of lateral-torsional buckling can't be considered.
The shear areas for directions y and z have to be specified by the user. The automatic estimation in the software divides the total cross-sectional area equally into both directions.
