Changing the Properties of Smartbeams

To change the properties of Smartbeams you must be in Smartbeam mode.

Select Items to Change:

Click any or all of the items to change: Type, Composite Flag or Fy

Select Castellated or Cellular for the Type by clicking the appropriate option button.

Select the composite flag by clicking the Composite or Non-composite option button. Note that the program will automatically determine the instances in which a beam must be designed non-compositely, such as an exposed beam or non-composite deck. You need only specify the non-composite flag in cases not obvious to the program.

Enter a yield strength value for the beam in the Fy edit box.
