DIN H-Beams in frame generator?

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I'm running Inventor 2013 professional and I want to design a steel structure for stress analysis. But I can't find any DIN H-beams (HEB, HEA in accordance to DIN 1025) in the "insert frame member selection". 

Isn't it possible to use DIN H-beams in Inventor frame generator? Can I add my own parts to the library for stress analysis?

hi Alex,

You can publish your own part into content center and then use it for stress analysis.

Yes, but I don't have any data on the H-beams. So I won't be able to set up the correct properties. Why isn't there any H-beams in the DIN section??

The have been in the content center for years, but the naming is a bit different. Look for IPB profiles.

IPBl = HEA

IPB = HEB

IPBv = HEM

Ok, that sure explains a lot. I'm a student so I don't have that much experience. Good to know though.

Thanks!
