The tab is available for Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis 2016. It is not available for Autodesk Revit Structure 2016.
Use the Code Parameters tab to define parameters that are required by a selected steel code. Options on this tab are determined by a code selected in the Job Preferences dialog.
Requirements of individual codes:
Eurocode 1993-1-8:2005
Use the options on the Code parameters tab to define the following code parameters:
- type of global structure analysis - as specified in Section [5.1] of the code
- parameters for calculation of connection rigidity.
You can also select a frame type (sway or non-sway). The beam length used in calculations equals to the real beam length.
CM66
Use the options on the Code parameters tab to define the following code parameters:
- Load distribution method (plastic or elastic) - select the method of distributing loads on successive bolt rows.
- Method of the column web verification - select the method according to the C.T.I.C.M recommendation (October 1997) or the NF method, CM66.
PN-90/B-03200
The options on the Code parameters tab are used to define the following code parameters:
- connection category (D, E or F)
- Multiply variable load - after selecting this option, the software considers the connection as a dynamically-loaded one.
- Friction coefficient (mi) - define it for F category connections as specified in Table Z2-1
- Conditional factor (alpha s) - select it based on the recommendations in Table 16
- Load distribution factors - Automatic calculation - after selecting this option, values of load distribution factors are specified automatically for individual bolt rows; these factors are specified based on recommendations in Table 17 (bending) and Figure 17 (tension); if Automatic calculation is cleared, you can define user load distribution factors (note that values of these factors should be in the interval (0,1] ).
