Use this option to describe additional code parameters for the aluminum bar type. Access the parameters by clicking the More button located in the Member Definition - Parameters dialog.
The following parameters are defined:
- Load type parameters in the directions of axes Y and Z
- 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).
- Specify if the plastic adaptation coefficient is to be recognized or not
- Round pipes - 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.
- Lateral torsional buckling; determine if such buckling type will be taken into consideration and what the conditions of support against torsion are to be (fixed or pinned member).
