Use this option to define additional code parameters for the steel member type. Access the parameters by clicking the More button in the Member Definition - Parameters dialog.
The following parameters are defined:
- Section parameters
Anet/Agross Ratio
This value applies to a tensile force acting on the cable. It is a coefficient that defines the relationship of the member cross-section area, not considering the bolt or rivet openings (Anet), to the total cross-section area (Agross).
- Round pipes case conditions. If the Unidirectional bending of pipes option is selected, then, for this type of section, a bending moment equal to a sum of moments operating along axis Y and Z is calculated; the resultant moment is the basis for bar design.
