Input
Refer to Usage of Table Tool to enter or modify the following data :
Elem : Element Number
Section ID : Section ID Number
fArea : Cross-sectional area
fAsy : Effective Shear Area resisting shear forces in the element local y-axis
fAsz : Effective Shear Area resisting shear forces in the element local z-axis
fIxx : Torsional Resistance about the element local x-axis
fIyy : Area Moment of Inertia about the element local y-axis
fIzz : Area Moment of Inertia about the element local z-axis
fWgt : Cross-sectional area used for calculating self-weight
Part : For sections defined as Composite Type, Scale Factors can be defined for Before (before composite action), After (after composite action) and All.
Group : Boundary Group
Note
Element stiffness scale factors can be included in boundary groups, which can be applied to individual construction stages in construction stage analysis.
