How to create thin walled sections??

[Anonymous]

Hi,

When i create a thin walled section in section definition, it is analysed like a solid section in the steel design module. (please see picture attached). Does i have to "check some box" to make it a real thin walled section that can be analysed has it should be?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Hey Artur, I'm trying what you proposed, my question is: when i change de dimensiona, "h" and "B" of the sections database, I will have to calculate all the propieties: Ix, Iy, Wx, Wy, S, kg/m?

Hi @Anonymous

Yes, when you change the size of a section you need to recalculate its properties.

Hi Artur

I can't seem to find a database with an editable omega thin walled section as you have suggested.  Could you please recommend one?
