The following designations are used in section databases available in Robot:
Designation |
Description |
---|---|
ID |
number in a database |
NAME |
section name (maximum 4 characters) |
DIM1 |
characteristic dimension 1 |
DIM2 |
characteristic dimension 2 |
DIM3 |
characteristic dimension 3 |
TYP |
section type (according to an internal convention) |
m |
weight of 1 running meter |
Sp |
lateral area of 1 running meter (painting area) |
H |
characteristic section Height |
B |
characteristic section Width |
TW |
web thickness |
TF |
flange thickness |
R |
internal fillet radius |
R1 |
external fillet radius |
A |
section component gap, depending on section type |
AX |
cross-section area |
AY |
shear rigidity factor - reduced cross-sectional area due to transversal force (Qy) |
AZ |
shear rigidity factor - reduced cross-sectional area due to transversal force (Qz) |
IX |
torsional moment of inertia |
IY |
bending moment of inertia about Y axis |
IZ |
bending moment of inertia about Z axis |
IOMEGA |
torsional warping constant for thin-walled sections |
VY |
distances of extreme positive fibers along the Y axis |
VPY |
distances of extreme negative fibers along the Y axis |
VZ |
distances of extreme positive fibers along the Z axis |
VPZ |
distances of extreme negative fibers along the Z axis |
WPLY |
plastic section modulus about axis Y |
WPLZ |
plastic section modulus about axis Z |
WX |
torsional modulus (extreme torsional stress coefficient) |
WY |
shear area - shear resistance coefficient for Qy |
WZ |
shear area - shear resistance coefficient for Qz |
GAMMA |
section rotation angle (Gamma0) |
SYMBOL |
vector description of the section symbol; field that is filled by the program itself (for example, the sections module). If the field is user-defined, or is not filled at all, the profiles in the database will be deprived of symbols. |
Per. |
perimeter |
