To specify Eurocode factors

To change Eurocode factors, use the following procedure.

A number of factors used in the Eurocode may vary from country to country. Their values are specified in the individual country’s National Annex (NA). The user may specify these values as appropriate.

The system administrator specifies default values at the time of installation.

  1. Select Criteria > Eurocode Factors.

    The Eurocode Factors dialog opens.
  2. Modify the individual Eurocode factors as necessary.
  3. Click OK.

If the factors are modified after one of the Design Modules has been run, optimized member designs will automatically be removed from the database and the framing tables will be rebuilt based on the newly specified values. A warning message to this effect will be posted providing the option of canceling the change.
