Navigation:  Steel Design > Steel Tools > Section Check

Click Steel Design > Steel Tools > Steel Section Check to open the Steel Section Check dialog.

 

 

This tool allows the specification of member section, length, bracing, material properties, and loading and then performs a code check with those parameters.

 

After filling in the parameters in the input fields at the top of the screen, populate the loading values in the columns for Pu, Mux, Muy, Vux, Vuy, Cmx and Cmy.  (Each row can be thought of as the resulting factored loads for a load combination.)

 

Then click the Compute button and the program will complete the design and report the results in the remaining columns.

 

The Show Procedure button can be used to view and print the detailed calculations.
