    I created the attached sections below as solid sections in Section Designer, because when i tried to import them as thin-walled sections i could not calculate the necessary elastic moduli Wel etc.

    Then when i chose to save it to database only user database is available and from what i could understand the specific database called RUSERpro.

    When i open Section Database RUSER the above sections are not available and therefore i cannot assign them the specific ID i.e 1001 etc as to perform the thin walled design for my model.

    When i tried the steel design one of the errors stated that since i have defined it as a solid section thin-walled section analysis could not be performed.

    I am still a bit confused:smileysad:

    If you see section database name USER -> database file name is called ruserpro.xml

    Restart Robot and check

    I thought the units might have something to do with it.

    The only section that appears in the section database ruserpro.xml is the one shown in picture1, all the others although i can choose to use them in my model do not appear in the database!

    Search whole C: driver for ruserpro.xml

    Check all found to find which one contains new sections then open in in Section Viewer

    Still i cannot find where the sections are saved.

    I tried to import one of the sections i saved in the user database into the section definition but still the only one i get to choose is only one default section!

    What i cannot understand how it is possibly to choose those section in the model and not in the section definition and section database !!:smileyfrustrated:

    c:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Structural\Common Data\2011\ruserpro.xml" 

     

    Keep in mind that AppData folder is hidden folder.
