DLUBAL Plate Buckling 8.24.02 (x64) Multilingual

It is possible to apply horizontal or vertical stiffeners to the plates (for example flat plates, angles, T‑stiffeners, trapezoidal stiffeners, channel sections). Loading on the plate boundaries can be applied in several ways and can be imported from the main program RFEM/RSTAB. The plate buckling design in RF‑/PLATE‑BUCKLING is always performed on the total buckling panel as the potential stiffeners are considered in the 3D FE model. Thus, designs of single (c/t) parts or buckling panel sections are omitted.
Features:
For design according to Eurocode 3, the following National Annexes (NA) are available:
Belgium NBN EN 1993-1-5/NA:2011-03 (Belgium)
Cyprus CYS EN 1993-1-5/NA:2009-03 (Cyprus)
CSN EN 1993-1-5/NA:2008-07 (Czech Republic)
SFS EN 1993-1-5/NA:2006 (Finland)
DIN EN 1993-1-5/NA:2010-12 (Germany)
UNI EN 1993-1-5/NA:2011-02 (Italy)
NEN EN 1993-1-5/NA:2011-04 (Netherlands)
NS EN 1993-1-5/NA:2009-06 (Norway)
In addition to the National Annexes listed above, you can also define a specific NA, applying user-defined limit values and parameters.
