Two tables for design of Westok Cellular Beams, called RAMUK.WCB (containing the standard British UB and UC shape) and RAMARCELOR.WCB (containing the Arcelor I-shapes), are provided with the program. Although additional tables can be created and edited by the user, it is not recommended that the user modify these .WCB tables unless directed by the manufacturer, Westok. If the file is edited, use spaces, not tabs, between data items. The file name must have the extension .WCB.

The file has the following format:

The first line contains an E or S, indicating English or SI units. This is not currently used but is specified here to allow future possible expansion of the tables.

The beam sections that compose the Westok Cellular Beams are then listed in the following format:

Label flag

where:

Label

the designation for the I-shaped beam (e.g., UB127x76x13)

flag

a single character. This is not currently used but is specified here to allow future possible expansion of the tables.

Each label must be unique (the same label can't appear twice in the table) and it is limited to a maximum of 15 characters.

The sections should be listed in order of cost, least expensive first (generally the lightest). RAM Steel Beam selects the first member in the table that satisfies all design requirements and constraints.
