The Properties tab provides the following data (You cannot change these quantities):

• Member number
• Section name
• Section symbol drawing showing local axes
• Cross-section dimensions (HY, HZ) of a section in table format
• Sectional properties (area: AX and moments of inertia: IX, IY, IZ) in table format

  In the case of tapered sections, the average text is displayed; the dimensions and sectional properties are displayed for the section at the midpoint of the member length

• Material properties: Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (G), Poisson's ratio (NI), thermal expansion coefficient (LX), unit weight, and resistance (Re).
