Design of Cross-Sections Created with SHAPE‑THIN 8 in RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections

Is it possible to model cold-formed sections in SHAPE‑THIN 8 and design them in RF‑/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections?

Answer:

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.
