DLUBAL Shape Thin 9.03.01

Introduction to DLUBAL Shape Thin 9.03.01

DLUBAL Shape Thin 9.03.01 is a stand-alone program that is designed to determine the section properties of open and closed thin-walled cross-sections. It also performs stress analysis and plastic design for these sections.

Overview

DLUBAL Shape Thin provides a seamless interface with RFEM and RSTAB, allowing for easy import and design of internal forces from these software programs. It has an extensive library of rolled and parameterized cross-sections that can be combined or complemented with new elements. The software also allows for modeling cross-sections consisting of different materials.

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

Use Cases

DLUBAL Shape Thin is suitable for engineers and designers working with thin-walled cross-sections in various industries such as construction, aerospace, and automotive. It is particularly useful for those requiring accurate section properties and stress analysis for their designs.
