Re: opinions questions about using ideCAD Steel 8 Hello; Stability design is made with ideCAD Steel 8.5 and 6.4 Buckling Length Method, one of the methods in New Turkish Steel Regulation Chapter 6. Regarding the geometric pre-defect and stiffness reduction you mentioned, details are given in the article 6.2.2.2, where stiffness reduction is not used in the 6.4 Buckling Length Method, the effect of horizontal fictitious loads for geometric pre-defects and their application to the system together with vertical loads and how this application will be done. Currently, fictitious horizontal loads are not automatically created for geometric pre-faults in the 8.5 version, but you can define these loads and affect the structure in combination according to the principles specified in 6.2.2.2 and design the structure. Good work.
