Section Properties Analysis & Design

Module Summary

• Analyzes a user-defined section and reports section properties
• Includes full rolled steel section database
• Permits rectangular and circular shapes to be defined and incorporated into the section
• Includes eight parametrically defined custom shapes
• Sketches the section and reports area, moments of inertia, radii of gyration, elastic and plastic section moduli, c.g. locations, and dimensions from c.g. to extreme edges
• Offers the convenience of fill-in-the-blanks style forms and instantaneous recalculation to facilitate the evaluation of “what-if” scenarios
• Provides highly efficient results summaries as well as generous detail in the on-screen and printed results
