Process - View/Update - Material Properties

The Material Properties tab provides the engineer a means to view and edit concrete and steel material properties for each column in the column line.

The diagram on the Material Properties page shows a schematic representation of the column line and the members that frame into it. Clicking on a specific story in the material properties grid will bring that column into the view screen. The diagram will help the engineer see which sides of the column have beams framing into them and what their relative depths are.

Setting	Description
Concrete Material Properties	For each column in the column line, the engineer can view and edit the concrete material properties. If LWC is selected for the Concrete Type, an fct value can be entered. If the Elastic Modulus was set to Use Calculated in the Modeler for a concrete column, the Modulus of Elasticity value in View/Update dialog will be read-only. If it was set to a user defined value in the Modeler, the Modulus of Elasticity can be edited along with the other material properties displayed.
Steel Reinforcement Material Properties	For each column in the column line, the engineer can view and edit the steel reinforcement material properties, such as Longitudinal fy and Transverse fy.

Description

Concrete Material Properties

For each column in the column line, the engineer can view and edit the concrete material properties.

If LWC is selected for the Concrete Type, an fct value can be entered.

If the Elastic Modulus was set to Use Calculated in the Modeler for a concrete column, the Modulus of Elasticity value in View/Update dialog will be read-only. If it was set to a user defined value in the Modeler, the Modulus of Elasticity can be edited along with the other material properties displayed.

Steel Reinforcement Material Properties

For each column in the column line, the engineer can view and edit the steel reinforcement material properties, such as Longitudinal fy and Transverse fy.
