BEAM |
1.0 |
Identify where beam checks are performed:
- 0 = Perform design at ends and those locations specified in the SECTION command.
- 1 = Perform design at ends and 1/12th section locations along member length.
|
DMAX
|
1000 |
Maximum allowed section depth (in current length units) for a section to be selected with the SELECT command. |
DMIN
|
0 |
Minimum allowed section depth (in current length units) for a section to be selected with the SELECT command. |
DFF |
0 |
Deflection Length/Max allowable local deflection
If set to 0, (default) then no deflection check is performed.
|
DJ1
|
Start joint of member |
Joint No. denoting starting point for calculating Deflection Length. |
DJ2 |
End joint of member |
Joint No. denoting ending point for calculating Deflection Length. |
