Section

More than 7000 predefined from Consteel section bank, or custom defined by section macros, including cold-formed sections with stiffener definition support.

IEdge Stiffener

See the component in use in the script library: Continuous multispan beam.

Inputs

Name	Id	Description
Angle1 [deg]	A1	Angle of the first fold in degrees.
Angle2 [deg]	A2	Angle of the second fold in degrees. Note: only relevant if Type is set to double folded.
B1 [mm]	B1	Length of the first fold in mm-s.
B2 [mm]	B2	Length of the second fold in mm-s. Note: only relevant if Type is set to double folded.
R1 [mm]	R1	Radius of the first fold in mm-s.
R2 [mm]	R2	Radius of the second fold in mm-s. Note: only relevant if Type is set to double folded.
Type	T	Single or double folded edge stiffener type specification.

Outputs

Name	Id	Description
ConSteel EdgeStiffener	ES	Represents an EdgeStiffener in ConSteel model.

Intermediate Stiffener

See the component in use in the script library: Continuous multispan beam.

Inputs

Name	Id	Description
Alpha [deg]	A	Angle of the plates if plated type, in degrees.
D [mm]	D	Diameter of the stiffener, if rounded type, mm-s.
PositionFrom	PF	Specifies how to interpret the following position value. Relative expects a value between 0.0 and 1.0, with 0 meaning at the start, 0.5 meaning halfway, etc. Otherwise in mm-s.
H [mm]	H	Height of the stiffener, in mm-s.
Doubled	Do	Set to true, if you wish to create a double intermediate stiffener.
Length [mm]	L	Length of the intermediate stiffener, as measured along the stiffened plate segments axis, in mm-s.
PlateSide	PS	Specifies which side of the plate the stiffener should face.
R [mm]	R	Radius of the stiffener, if rounded type, in mm-s.
PlateSide2	PS2	Specifies which side of the plate the optional second stiffener should face, if this is a double stiffener.
Type	T	Rounded, triangle or plated intermediate stiffener type specification.
X2 [mm or ratio]	X2	Position of the optional second stiffener's center along the stiffened plate segment's axis if this is a double stiffener. The PositionFrom parameter specifies how to interpret the value, but this value always understood from the first stiffener, not from the segment point.
X [mm or ratio]	X	Position of the stiffener's center along the stiffened plate segment's axis. The PositionFrom parameter specifies how to interpret the value.

Outputs

Name	Id	Description
ConSteel IntermediateStiffener	IS	Represents an IntermediateStiffener in ConSteel model

Macro Section

See the component in use in the script library: Simple Cantilever Beam.

Inputs

Name	Id	Description
Material	M	The material of the section.
Name	N	Name of the section.

The rest of the inputs can dynamically change depending on the selected macro.

Outputs

Name	Id	Description
ConSteel Section	Section	ConSteel Section

Section Bank previews

See the component in use in the script library: Haunched frame.

Inputs

Name	Id	Description
MacroFilter	MF	Filter out section previews by the provided macro codes. If left at unset, no filter is active.
NameFilte	N	Filter by the section's name (eg.: "IPE 180") or by a regular expression that matches the name (eg.: "" + @"IPE [12][\d]2\b" + ""). If left empty, no filter is active.
OriginFilter	OF	Filter by the section bank origin, eg "European". If left empty no filter is active.

Outputs

Name	Id	Description
ConSteel Section preview	SectPrev	Represents a Section preview from a ConSteel section bank.

Section From Bank

See the component in use in the script library: Haunched frame.

Inputs

Name	Id	Description
SectionPreview	SP	he section preview of a section from the bank. Get and filter previews using the SectionBankPreview component. Loading excessive ammounts of sections is slow.
Material	M	The material of the section.

Outputs

Name	Id	Description
Section	S	The loaded in section.
