Sections
• Any cold-formed shape
• Composite shapes such
as back-to-back Cees
• Open and closed shapes
• Cylindrical tubes
• Elements with holes
• Section libraries
• US and metric units
• Import/export DXF files
• ASTM carbon steel and
stainless steel materials
• Custom materials
• Strength increase from
cold-work of forming
Analysis

lapped members,
beam-columns
• Several support types
• Continuously braced
flanges

• Full and net properties
• Torsional properties
• Effective section
properties
• ASD, LRFD, and LSD
strengths for tension,
compression, bending,
shear, web-crippling
• Interaction equations for
axial/bending,
bending/shear,
bending/web-crippling
• Calculation trace
Direct Strength Method (DSM)
• Elastic buckling analysis
using finite strip method
• Apply buckling load
ratios to section
characteristics
• Calculate design strength
using DSM provisions
