Hi all,
I'm having trouble designing a beam made of aluminium.
The beam in 5.02 m long, has two pinned suppports, several forces (KN/m - linear distribution) and a few combinations. Calculation is to be made in 2D XZ plane. Everything is ok so far. Calculation and diagrams look ok, but when i perform the steel/alum design i have a problem.
It seams that if the material is steel, the design verification is correct, but when i change the material to Alum, I get the internal axial value NEd = 0 and no buckling verification.
I'm probably doing something wrong....
Attached a picture and the rtd file.
Also I would like to ask what are the the values underlined with green in the picture. some coordinates?

Position of the verification point where the ratio is the highest.
no buckling verification.
Tension force in bar.

Strange no one mentioned that aluminium member should be verified according to EN 1999-1-1 rules not EN 1993-1-1, which, the last time I checked, not implemented in Robot
Can be if sombody decides to run such check in Robot (possibility rather than being told to do this)
