Structure > Elements > Buckling Lengths
Definition of characteristic lengths (buckling lengths) for different buckling checks (in the context of steel design resistance calculation for steel and composite elements).
Note: The relevant buckling lengths can be separately defined for each result point, i.e. the start and end points of the beam elements. A definition in any intermediate subdivision points is not possible, design resistances can also only be calculated for start and end points of the elements.

Table of characteristic lengths | Per default all lengths are set to zero, i.e. the basic assumption is that beam buckling is not relevant for the design. Just for the check for local buckling the definition zero means that there is no lateral support of the slender parts (transverse stiffeners) in longitudinal direction.
