Process - View/Update - Section/Material Properties

The Sections/Material Properties tab provides the engineer a means to view and edit material properties and beam properties for each beam in the beam line.

Setting	Description
Beam Properties	For each span in the beam line, the engineer can view the span length, the assigned size, and the section dimensions associated with that size. This information cannot be edited through the View/Update dialog. The Stirrup Type and Number of Stirrup Legs can be both viewed and edited for each beam in the beam line.
Material Properties	For each span in the beam line, the engineer can view and edit steel reinforcement and concrete material properties. If LWC is selected for the Concrete Type, an fct value can be entered. If the Elastic Modulus was set to Use Calculated in the Modeler for a concrete beam, the Modulus of Elasticity value in the Material Properties section of the View/Update dialog will be read-only. If it was set to a user defined value in the Modeler, the Modulus of Elasticity can be edited along with the other material properties displayed.
