[CIVIL NX] Column Section missing in the "Column Section Data for Design" Module

Question

Why are no column cross sections appearing when I click into the Column Section Data for Design Module, even though I have assigned them in the base model?

Answer

To ensure the section is recognized under the RC Design tab, it must meet two criteria:

  • The material must be concrete, as this is for RC (Reinforced Concrete) design.
  • The alignment should be in the Z-direction for column design.

 

Referring to the model in question, the material property assigned to the column section is defined as 'User-defined', which is causing the issue.

To resolve this issue for the concrete material, please make the following changes:

  1. Type of Design = Concrete

  2. Standard = None

  3. Under the Concrete tab, input the user-defined data.

After making the above changes, the sections will be visible under the Concrete Design tab.
