This example shows each type of member property input. Members 1 to 5 are wide flanges selected from the AISC tables; 9 and 10 are double angles selected from the AISC tables; 12 to 15 are prismatic members with no shear deformation; 17 and 18 are pipe sections; 20 to 25 are tube sections; 27, 29, 32 to 40, and 42 are prismatic members with shear deformation; 43 to 47 are wide flanges selected from the user input table number 1; 50 and 51 are single angles from the user input table number 2; 52 through 55 are designated as COLUMN members using the ASSIGN specification. The program will assign a suitable I-section from the steel table for each member.

Member 56 is a wide flange W12X26 with a 4.0 unit wide cover plate of 0.3 units of thickness at the top. Member 57 is a composite section with a concrete slab of 5.0 units of thickness at the top of a wide flange W14X34. The compressive strength of the concrete in the slab is 3.0 force/length².
