We are back though and everything should run smoothly now. New servers. Updated domains. And new owners. We invite you all to start uploading torrents again!
The stand‑alone program SHAPE‑THIN determines section properties of open and closed thin‑walled cross‑section and performs the stress analysis and plastic design. SHAPE-THIN provides the option of interface with RFEM and RSTAB: SHAPE‑THIN cross‑sections are available in the library of the FEA or frame analysis software, and vice versa, it is possible to import and design the internal forces from RFEM and RSTAB in SHAPE‑THIN. The structural data can be entered graphically, in tables, or by means of a DXF file.
Features: Modeling of the cross-section via elements, sections, arcs and point elements Expandable library of material properties, yield strengths, and limit stresses Section properties of open, closed or non-connected cross-sections Effective properties of cross-sections consisting of different materials Determination of weld stresses in fillet welds Stress analysis including design of primary and secondary torsion Check of (c/t) ratios Effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-5 EN 1999-1-1 DIN 18800-2 Classification according to EN 1993-1-1 EN 1999-1-1 Interface with MS Excel to import and export tables Printout report
