Steel Design > Steel Design Tools > Steel Section Design allows you to quickly design steel sections against a set of load effects. The Section Design input and output are shown below:
For Section Filter Criteria, you can use either Section Prefixes or section dimension limits (but not both). The section prefixes is a comma delimited list such as W12, W14. If section prefixes is used, the section dimension limits will be ignored. If a section dimension limit is zero, then that limit criteria is ignored.
By default, a maximum of ten section candidates will be provided after a successful design. You can then view the detailed check for each of the section candidate.
