Angle Shape Tables

The follow details are used for angle shapes in standard database tables.

Note: The required first two columns for all standard databases are RecNo and Name.

Note: For unequal leg angles, the input must be such that D > B.

Table 1. Angle shape default properties
Name	Description	Unit	Column No.
D	Length of leg 1; longer leg for unequal leg angles	in	3
B	Length of leg 2; shorter leg for unequal leg angles	in	4
T	Thickness	in	5
AX	Cross sectional area	in^2	6
RMIN	Radius of gyration about the 2-2 axis	in	7
