Configuration (NBR 8800:2008)
Use this dialog to define the parameters to apply during the verification of a steel member according to the NBR 8800:2008 code.
Additional Parameters (NBR 8800:2008)
Use this dialog to define additional code parameters of a steel member according to the NBR 8800:2008 code.
Serviceability - Displacement limiting values (NBR 8800:2008)
Use this dialog to define additional parameters determining the limit displacement values according to the ANSI/AISC 360-05, ANSI/AISC 360-10, and ANSI/AISC 360-16 codes.
Location of Transverse Stiffeners (NBR 8800:2008)
