Hi to everybody.
I noted that in section properties panel there are a lot of AISC profiles defined. See at Cross-Section_lib.jpg attached image.
But they are all dimensioned using US-Customary system: I'm working in Italy (in Europe) so I need at least one of ISO, DIN, UNI, AFNOR (and so on) metric standard.
- Please add at least the first in selection list.
Again, between General Shape sections as displayed in User-Defined-sections.jpg attached image, isn't available the L-section.
- Please add th L section in selection list.
Again, in same panel, is possible to define a User Defined Section, but it hasn' any 3D rapresentation linked.
It could be very useful to make some utility to perform this task:
1) draw a section (in dwg format, for example) with the geometry Center of Mass displayed as a Point;
2) import this section in Sim. Mechanical;
3) calculate Inertia properties and use geometry to display beam in 3D;
4) store (somewhere) the User-Defined section for future reuse.
Many thanks
Piero
