| Calculate |
Calculates the cross-sectional
properties of the composite section and the opens the Basic Geometry dialog to display the values. A report can
also be generated from this dialog. Note: For sections built up from two more
shapes in Section Builder, the warping constant is displayed as zero as there is no standard
method for calculating this value for built up sections. Thus, the
program simply gives a value of Iw as 0.

| Stress Contour |
Opens the Section forces dialog, which is used to specify
major axis moments and axial force on the section. Click OK to close the
dialog and display the stress distribution on the composite section.
