Default Database Configuration dialog
Used to select the default country and section databases to use in the Section Profiles Table dialog.
Opens when the
Configuration tool is selected on the
Home tab in the
Section Database Manager application.
When an existing STAAD.Pro model is opened, the program reads the contents of the file, and checks the validity of data in that file. One of those data items validated is names of sections assigned from steel tables. Since steel sections are country-specific, such as British, German, etc., the program needs to know the country or organization whose steel table is the underlying database for validating the sections being read in from the file. Normally, the input file contains the name of the database as part of the member property command. In the absence of an explicit name, STAAD.Pro uses a default. That default is set using this facility.
