As of version 2023.a, CYPE 3D allows users to assign the values of critical buckling axial forces and critical lateral buckling moments for rolled and cold-formed steel elements as an alternative to the buckling and lateral buckling lengths.
This new feature provides a tool to consider values for the axial and critical moments of the element other than those calculated automatically by the program. The options (Bar menu > Buckling / Lateral buckling) are available for the following codes:
- Eurocodes 3 and 4
- Código Estructural (Spain)
- EAE-2011 (Spain)
- CTE DB SE-A (Spain)
