Click "IMPORT" to import sections from a Database. Currently, the following section Databases are supported by the program:
•AISC v15 (Imperial Units), with 2091 sections (W-Shapes, M-Shapes, HP-Shapes, S-Shapes, C-Shapes, MC-Shapes, MT-Shapes, WT-Shapes, ST-Shapes, HSS_Rectangular, Angles_L, HSS_Round, PIPE, Double_Angles_2L)
•AISC v15 (Metric Units), with 2091 sections (W-Shapes, M-Shapes, HP-Shapes, S-Shapes, C-Shapes, MC-Shapes, MT-Shapes, WT-Shapes, ST-Shapes, HSS_Rectangular, Angles_L, HSS_Round, PIPE, Double_Angles_2L)
•European, with 143 sections (IPE, IPE-A, IPN, HE-A, HE-B, HE-M, UPE)
By clicking IMPORT we get a new form.
Select entire rows from the table and then click "Import y-y (Iy)" or "Import z-z (Iz)" to import the section to the Model.
•"Import y-y (Iy)": Imports the Section Name, Area A and Moment of Inertia Iy (usually the strong axis of the section)
•"Import z-z (Iz)": Imports the Section Name, Area A and Moment of Inertia Iz (usually the weak axis of the section)
