Assign Beam Tool Options

The following options are available:

The filter narrows down the list of beam profiles. You can filter based on code (AISC, EUROCODE) or beam type (I, Channel, L, etc.).
Source The code of practice defining the beam profile and material properties.
Profile type The general shape profile of the cross section (for example, "L" for angle sections).
Family The family subclass of the section that fits within the profile (for example, Equal angle, Unequal angle).
Size classification The declared size as defined by the code of practice. The actual dimensions may vary.
Material The material used.
Grade The grade of material used, as defined by the code of practice.
Section depth The measured depth of the section.
Section width The measure width of the section.
Web thickness The thickness of the beam web.
Flange thickness The thickness of the beam flanges.
Kdet The code specific dimension Kdet.
K1 The code specific dimension K1.
Cross-section area The cross-sectional area.
Ixx The second moment of area about the sections primary (xx) axis of bending.
Iyy The second moment of area about the sections secondary (yy) axis of bending.
