10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

1.4 Consolidation of Members In the new version of the program a new group of commands has been added which concerns the consolidation of metallic members for the calculation and display of bending and deformation checks based on EC3. Important notes: • With the use of this tool, it is now possible for the designer to correctly define the initial length of the member per direction to be taken into account in the controls of bending. • This determination has so far been made using the known coefficients (see next section ) • Now with the use of the consolidation by direction, the process of the rates will not be needed, but the consolidation will be done, in most cases automatically. • It should also be noted that with the process of consolidation it is correctly taken calculating the bending length and in printing the results a consolidated member is now printed once with an indication of the individual members it includes.
