1. Description
This component operates the Tapered Group function in Civil NX.
This function groups the members defined as Tapered Sections. It automatically calculates the sectional properties of the non-prismatic section such that the group section varies uniformly irrespective of the number of segments in the group. The auto-calculated sectional information can be converted into the model data. Tapered sections defined by Value Type cannot be assigned as a Tapered Section Group.
The Tapered Group function can be found in the Civil NX main menu,select [Properties] tab > [Section Properties] group > [Tapered Group] menu
