Navigation:  Assigning Properties to Modeling Entities > Properties for Members > Members Table

Up to this point we have discussed creating and editing model geometry, and we have discussed defining and assigning properties to the members in a model.  Many of these processes could be done either graphically or in tabular form.

 

The Member Data table is powerful because it brings many of these definitions and properties together in one concise table that can be reviewed and modified if needed.  It can be opened by clicking Tables > Members.

 

 

 

The Members table includes:

•Member ID

•Starting and ending node numbers

•Material

•Section

•Local Angle

•Specification for Linear, Tension-Only or Compression-Only

•Status (options include Normal, Selected, and Frozen)

 

Other than the Member ID number, the remainder of these items can be revised in this table.
