If Constant section is enabled when defining the element in the Project manager:

Then the Section database will give the user the possibility to use predefined sections or define custom sections.

Standard Eurocode concrete

This database consists of predefined sections, some for example-purposes, others are cross sections from manufacturers.

Non-standard concrete

The Non-standard database is a user-defined database. It will save and contain all the user defined cross sections created by the user.

By selecting the Non-standard concrete database on the left and one of the supported cross sections on the right it is possible to see the stored cross section, and the program will give an option to [Add] new sections.

Entering values in the measurements input fields, a name for the cross section and then pressing [Add] will calculate the cross sectional parameters.

And by then pressing [OK] it will be stored in the database.

A few more options for the cross section is now available:

[Change] will give the user the option to change the cross section

[Delete] will remove it from the database.
