Great webinar, thanks) What if we reproduce the connection in IdeaStatica Member? There is most advanced design now GMNIA - would it be more accurate than in Connection regarding local buckling?

Thank you :) Connection tells you the buckling shape and its critical factor, then you consider what to do - either its not dangerous or it is and then you react by strengtening or doing further analysis. And this is the point when you use Member - mode the connection and surrounding members and analyze it using the imperfections of the beams as well and the program tells you whether it will really buckle and fail the code-check or if it is safe. In other words - analysis in Connection and Member are based on the same CBFEM method inside, just it shows you a bit different things. And in combination of these 2 apps, you get ultimate combo of calculating everything :). IDEA StatiCa team
