Software Description:
Dlubal SHAPE‑THIN determines section propertiesof open and closed thin‑walled cross‑section and performs thestress analysis and plastic design. SHAPE-THIN provides the optionof interface with RFEM and RSTAB: SHAPE‑THIN cross‑sections areavailable in the library of the FEA or frame analysis software, andvice versa, it is possible to import and design the internal forcesfrom RFEM and RSTAB in SHAPE‑THIN. The structural data can beentered graphically, in tables, or by means of a DXF file.

Input
SHAPE-THIN includes an extensive library of rolled andparameterized cross-sections. They can be combined or complementedby new elements. It is possible to model a cross-section consistingof different materials.
Graphical tools and functions allow for modeling complexcross-section shapes in the usual way common for CAD programs. Thegraphical entry provides the option of setting point elements,fillet welds, arcs, parameterized rectangular and circularsections, ellipses, elliptical archs, parabolas, hyperbolas,spline, and NURBS. Alternatively, it is possible to import a DXFfile that is used as the basis for further modeling. You can alsouse guidelines for modeling.
Furthermore, parameterized input allows you to enter model and loaddata in a specific way so they depend on certain variables.
Elements can be divided or attached to other objects graphically.SHAPE-THIN automatically divides the elements and provides for anuninterrupted shear flow by introducing dummy elements. In the caseof dummy elements, you can define a specific thickness to controlthe shear transfer.
Calculation
SHAPE-THIN calculates all relevant cross‑section properties,including plastic limit forces and moments. Overlapping areas areset close to reality. If cross-sections consist of differentmaterials, SHAPE‑THIN determines the effective cross‑sectionproperties with respect to the reference material.
In addition to the elastic stress analysis, you can perform theplastic including interaction of internal forces for anycross‑section shape. The plastic interaction design is carried outaccording to the Simplex Method. You can select the yieldhypothesis according to Tresca or von Mises.
It is possible to calculate the section properties and stresses ofthe effective cross-section according to EN 1993‑1‑1 and EN1993‑1‑5 or EN 1999‑1‑1. Cross‑section classification considers theavailable combination of internal forces.
Optionally, SHAPE‑THIN checks the limit values (c/t) in compliancewith the design methods el‑el, el‑pl or pl‑pl according to DIN18800. The (c/t) zones of elements connected in the same directionare recognized automatically.
Results
All results can be evaluated numerically and graphically anddisplayed in a visualization. Selection functions facilitate thetargeted evaluation.
The printout report corresponds to the high standards of the FEAsoftware RFEM and the frame analysis software RSTAB. Modificationsare updated automatically.
