D11.A.2Material Properties

Any material with modulus of elasticity between 137,895 MPa (20,000 ksi) – 344738 MPa (50,000 ksi). You can design members with either built-in material constants or user-defined materials.

Note: If any material with modulus of elasticity value out of that range is assigned to member, it will be designed but an additional warning message will be produced.

Refer to TR.26.1 Define Material for further information on the Define Material feature.

Refer to TR.26.2 Specifying Constants for Members andElements for further information on the Built-in Material Constants feature.

Yield stress, f_y , and ultimate stress, f_u , are calculated based on steel grade table. The design parameters FYLD, FU, and SGR are used to directl specify these values.
