| σ-x The American steel standard ANSI/AISC 360-16 has been implemented. |  | |
| The output of the steel calculation of the ANSI/ASIC 360-16 is implemented in detail
in the calculation results including all the formulaes of the standard. |
 | |
| Additional [[steel types are added.

| Improvement of the implementation of the NEN-EN 1993
Lateral buckling stability: I-shaped sections were tested according to formula (6.56) of article 6.3.2.2. This is a conservative and therefore safe calculation. However, for I-sections it is also possible to use formulae (6.57) and (6.58) of article 6.3.2.3. Generally this leads to lower / more favorable unity checks. And we have now provided that. This can further optimize the design of your steel structure and save steel weight. |
