D1.J.3 Design Parameters
The program contains a large number of parameter names which are required to perform design and code checks. These parameter names, with their default values, are listed in Table 22A.1. These parameters communicate design decisions from the engineer to the program.
The default parameter values have been selected such that they are frequently used numbers for conventional design. Depending on the particular design requirements for an analysis, some or all of these parameter values may have to be changed to exactly model the physical structure. For example, by default the KZ value (k value in local z-axis) of a member is set to 1.0, wile in the real structure it may be 1.5. In that case, the KZ value in the program can be changed to 1.5, as shown in the input instruction (Section 5). Similarly, the TRACK value of a member is set to 0.0, which means no allowable stresses of the member will be printed.
