PLUGIN INPUT GUIDE:

Расчёт балки на двух опорах

a.) PLUGIN GENERAL SYNTAX:

The command assigned to extract shape properties is named 'SectProp'. The name which is a short-cut for Section Properties requires two string parameters and has the following syntax:

Syntax: SectProp ["string-1", "string-2"]

Where:
"string-1" = Shape Designation
"string-2" = Property Symbol

To extract the Moment of Inertia of W16x50, for example, all you need to do is supply the string "W16x50" to first parameter & the string "Ix" to the second parameter as below:

 in 4 ^ 659.000

What if the Shape Designation specified does not exist or is not available, or you simply made a typo error?

Fortunately, this is not something to worry about because the program traps this error & it displays a list of available shapes and allows you to correct your input.

 [Beam W16x51 does not exist!] Select from Beam Sizes below: │1.) W16x100 │2.) W16x89 │3.) W16x77 │4.) W16x67 │5.) W16x57 │6.) W16x50 │7.) W16x45 │8.) W16x40 │9.) W16x36 │10.) W16x31 │11.) W16x26

b.) AVAILABLE PROPERTY SYMBOLS:

What about the rest of the Shape's Properties, like depth of beam, thickness of flange, thickness of web, and etc.? How do you extract those properties? What symbols are you going to provide to the second parameter?

To display the rest of the shape property symbols, simply provide the second parameter with the string "help" or just leave it EMPTY and you will be prompted with the list of property symbols below:

c.) AVAILABLE SHAPES:

You don't need to look at the Shape Table in your AISC Construction Manual to find the available shapes. Just leave the first string parameter EMPTY -- and you will be prompted with a list of available SHAPE CATEGORIES as below:

[Invalid Shape Prefix!] Select from the following Shape Prefixes below: │1.) WT = for WT-Shape │2.) W = for W-Shape │3.) MT = for MT-Shape │4.) MC = for MC-Shape │5.) M = for M-Shape │6.) HP = for HP-Shape │7.) ST = for ST-Shape │8.) S = for S-Shape │9.) C = for C-Shape │10.) HSS = for HSS-Shape │11.) PIPE = for PIPE │12.) 2L = for Double Angle │13.) L = for Single Angle

If you want to display, for example, the available C-shape sizes, just supply the first parameter with the string "C"(see Shape Prefixes above) and a list of available C-Shapes will be displayed as below:

 [Beam C does not exist!] Select from Beam Sizes below: │1.) C15x50 │2.) C15x40 │3.) C15x33.9 │4.) C12x30 │5.) C12x25 │6.) C12x20.7 │7.) C10x30 │8.) C10x25 │9.) C10x20 │10.) C10x15.3 │11.)

You may do the same to display the available sizes for the rest of the SHAPE CATEGORIES.
