Definition of characteristic lengths (buckling lengths) for different buckling checks (in the context of steel design resistance calculation for steel and composite elements) by copying the data of the element currently selected in the table of characteristic lengths to a series of other elements.
Setting | Description |
---|
From, To, Step
|
Series of elements where buckling lengths should be
modified
|
Begin
|
Block for modification of characteristic lengths at
the start points of the specified elements. Values where the modification
option is not checked remain unchanged throughout the element series.
Setting | Description |
---|
L-rx
|
Option for modification of the relevant
buckling length for torsional-flexural buckling
|
L-ry
|
Option for modification of the relevant
buckling length for flexural buckling in transverse direction
|
L-rz
|
Option for modification of the relevant
buckling length for flexural buckling in main bending direction
|
L-loc
|
Option for modification of the relevant
characteristic length for local buckling
|
L-rz
|
Option for modification of the relevant
characteristic length for lateral-torsional buckling (transverse buckling of
compression chords)
|
|
End
|
Block for modification of characteristic lengths at
the start points of the specified elements.

Rigid End Post
|
If enabled, rigid end post check will be performed per Euro
Code. By default, this check is not performed.
