Used to assign prismatic cross sections to members.
Opens when the
Beam Profiles > Prismatic Profiles tool is selected in the
Specifications group on the
Specification ribbon tab.
Note: The
Properties - Whole Structure dialog
also opens simultaneously so that some of the other options available from that
dialog may be utilized.

AX
|
Cross sectional area of the member.
|
AY
|
Effective shear area in local y-axis.
|
AZ
|
Effective shear area in local z-axis.
|
IX
|
Torsional constant.
|
IY
|
Moment of inertia about local y-axis.
|
IZ
|
Moment of inertia about local z-axis (usually
major).
|
YD
|
Depth of the member in local y direction. Used as the
diameter of section for circular members.
|
ZD
|
Depth of the member in local z direction. If ZD is
not provided and YD is provided, the section will be assumed to be circular.
|
YB
|
Depth of stem for T-section.
|
ZB

F1
|
Depth of section at start node.
|
F2
|
Thickness of web.
|
F3
|
Depth of section at end node.
Note: F3 should be less than F1 (i.e., the section should
decrease in depth from start to end). You must provide the member incidences
accordingly.
|
F4
|
Width of top flange.
|
F5
|
Thickness of top flange.
|
F6
|
Width of bottom flange. Defaults to F4 is zero.

- Dodecagonal – 12-sided
- Octagonal – 8-sided
- Hexagonal – 6-sided
- Square – 4-sided
|
d1
|
Depth of section at start of member.
|
d2
|
Depth of section at end of member.
|
th
|
Thickness of section (constant throughout the member
length).

Notes:
- 断面特性は、薄肉断面に適用可能な公式を使用して計算されます。
-
せん断変形は、テーパー付きI形はりおよびテーパー付きポールでは考慮されません。つまり、SET SHEARコマンドは、これらの断面を持つメンバーについての変形の計算には影響しません。
Assign Profile tab
Used to instruct the program to select a suitable steel section based
on a profile classification, such as beam, column, double-angle, etc.
Setting | Description |
---|
Select Profile Specification
|
Specify a profile by selecting one of the options:
- Angle
- Double Angle
- Beam
- Column
- Channel
The program will then assign a section based on that profile
from the relevant built-in Steel table.
