CS part: New/Modify

Using this option, a new CS part can be defined resp. an existing one can be modified.

Slave: The cross-section part is not a physical part but a fictitious part describing the position of a so-called slave node with separate degrees of freedom. These DOF's are used in the case of a Finite Element analysis with using shell or volume elements for giving allowance to deformation of the cross-section.

Setting	Description
Part from	First part in the series
Part to	Last part in the series
Part step	Step of the part series
Series	Using the check button, the correction for the complete series or only for one part will be done The check button is only in case of modification activated
Check button Part-type	Using the check button, the correction of part-type can be done: Statical part Part will be considered as part of the structure in structural analysis Weight area Part will be considered only with its weight, but not as a part of the structure The check button is only in case of modification activated
Reduct.factor	Using the check button, the correction of the reduction factors can be done: Red-Mx Reduction factor of the shear modulus for calculation of torsion moment Mx Red-Qy Reduction factor of the shear modulus for calculation of shear force Qy Red-Qz Reduction factor of the shear modulus for calculation of shear force Qz The check button is only in case of modification activated
Info-Text	Using the check button, the correction of the information text can be done The check button is only in case of modification activated
Parts	Using the check button, the correction of the part-composition to the composite cross-section can be done The check button is only in case of modification activated
