A section is made up of a combination of rectangles, triangles and/or circles and each component has a unique set of properties: length, thickness, rotation, position, density etc.  You can pre-define these properties before running the 'Section properties calculator'.

Attached are examples of a 'pre-defined' plated I-section and a custom channel section, where you just need to specify the main dimensions to generate all the section properties. To see how they work select Show Hidden Calcs as most of the text has been hidden to provide tidy output.

For more information see the extensive notes in the User Guide. 


Note there are also specific section properties functions available from the 'Writing your own custom calculations' section of the Engineering Library.
