10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

An alternative method to set the same parameters for all layers that include metallic cross- sections is to select all layers with the "Select all" button and set the parameters for each control category once. It should also be noted that to set parameters at least one (or more) layer must be selected. The parameters for each control category are explained in detail below. By selecting the "GENERAL" section, the following dialog box appears: to set the GM safety factors: γM0= transverse stress resistance for each category of members γM1 = resistance to buckling based on tests cM2= tensile fracture strength of cross sections Here you can set the individual safety factors and a minimum threshold for the intensive sizes below which the intensive sizes are not taken into account. The above values are those proposed by the Eurocode.
