In RM Bridge Enterprise, User can perform the calculation of the cross-sections class and design resistance of steel and composite steel sections with consideration of local buckling of slender cross-section parts (slender parts). Characteristic buckling lengths are considered for actual design resistance in the structure.
"UltRes" performs the following calculations:

Description
Action
Code of the selected Action. It is possible to switch to another action without leaving and re-entering the input function.
Action will be skipped (Option)
The action will be skipped in the calculation process, if the option is selected.
Input-1 > (Excel File)
Name of a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet file where the calculated cross-section and element resistance are written. If the spreadsheet file contains a sheet CS with definitions of slender parts, these definitions are used instead of the slender parts defined via reference sets. If it contains a sheet Elements these definitions override any buckling length definitions in the database and the to-do definitions in Structure > Elements > Checks.
Output-1 > Result name
Name of the result where the calculated design resistance values are stored. I.e. this result contains the design resistance for tensile force under +NxRd, the design resistance for compression force under -NxRd, ..., till the design resistance for negative moment under -MzRd. It can be viewed and specified as plot, list or Excel file in the tab "Miscellaneous" in RM-Sets.
Output-2 > List File
Name of list file whereto results of the calculation are written.
Delta-T
Duration of the Action (not applicable for this action)
Descriptive text for the selected Action (max. 80 characters)
Elements, for which a design resistance calculation shall be done, have to be selected in the function Structure > Element > Checks > Steel (Steel checks).
For additional information about "UltRes" schedule action User can consult the Steel Guide available in Help.
