automatically assigns stage numbers to members. Members located within a diaphragm are given the same stage number of the diaphragm. Those outside any diaphragm, the program uses stage number of first diaphragm at the level of member. In case of a level with no diaphragm at all, the program uses story number as stage number |
Use | allows you to assign stage number to the selected member types manually by either Single, Fence, or All methods |
Reset | removes stage numbers already assigned for members (i.e., it sets stage number to zero) |
The command Assign – Concrete Properties dialog, which is used to assign concrete properties to lateral concrete members such as columns, beams, walls, braces, and diaphragms. It is also possible to assign to concrete gravity columns and walls for those included in model. If time-dependent material effects are not considered in analysis, this section can be skipped. By default, every concrete member (or diaphragm) has the default concrete material model assigned.
