HI, i have modelled a flitch beam with a steel 't' and 2 timber rectangular sections.
what do i need to input dimensions 1, 2 and 3 in order to save to the database? see attached screenshot.
I saw an example video on here for a round section, but i have more than three dimensions.
many thanks in advanced.
Hi @Anonymous
Dimensions are user defined section name components. Dimensions can be arbitrary (arbitrary numbers). Usually Dimension1 is used or all three dimensions 1 2 3 together, defined as height , width, and web/flange thickness.
Hi @Anonymous
One more information
In name field letters only should be used (numbers are not allowed)
Many thanks that's really helpful!
A second question if i may... when i save the section, I select the additional calculations but Ix doesnt save when i open in geometry for some reason. do you know why this may be?
Hi @Anonymous
Robot is not able to calculate Ix (torsional stiffness) for section defined from different materials
