Interaction with bending

The EN 1993-1-8 Art 6.2.7.1 (3) specifies that: If the axial force NEd in the connected beam exceeds 5% of the design plastic resistance, Npl,Rd , the following conservative method may be used and M+N unity check is added in the Results dialog:

with:

My,Ed the design bending moment in connection
Mj,y,Rd the design moment resistance of the joint, assuming no axial force
NEd the design normal force in the connection
Nj,Rd the axial design resistance of the joint, assuming no applied moment
