Hello Team,

Please advise on the option to restrain flanges of I-beam in the steel sections.

Hello,

Select the Consider Warping Effect(7th DOF) to restrain flanges of I-beam in the steel sections. For the more detailed explanation, please refer to the online manual from the below link.

In case of the lateral torsional buckling, it will be ignored for the below condition.

However, unfortunately, there is no option to turn off checking based on lateral torsional buckling.
Thank you.

Best regards,
