D4.B.7 Design Parameters

The design parameters outlined in Table 3B.1 may be used to control the design procedure. These parameters communicate design decisions from the engineer to the program and thus allow the engineer to control the design process to suit an application's specific needs.

The default parameter values have been selected such that they are frequently used numbers for conventional design. Depending on the particular design requirements, some or all of these parameter values may be changed to exactly model the physical structure.

Note: 一度パラメータを設定すると、その値は再度設定されるまで設定されたその数のままです。これはSTAAD.Proで、すべてのコードに対してあてはまります。
