Built-up plate members should be implemented completely.
Tapered members, built-up, maybe compound members
Problems:
There are no web plates called out or detailed on the detail sheet or anywhere else that I can find.
No flange plates labeled on the detail, even though they are billed out.
Flange plates are considered to be part of the depth. The problem is the flange plates change thicknesses but the web depth does not (Umm most of the time), so there needs to be 2 inputs per section for the depth or the depths entered are inside to inside of flanges.
Have macros that recognize a built-up member. Most just abort with no explanation but work fine on hot-rolled.
Have 2 plates on a haunch connection (ok almost all connections to built-up is 2 plates) with built up. Most of the time the flange is way to thin to accept the connection bolts and transfer the loads.
There is a massive bug on the IFC export but you already have that.
Please contact me if there are any questions, I can supply samples and of what it needs to be. Of course this would be at my company, other companies have their standards. 🙂
