CHAPTER 10C 'DIMENSIONING' 18 Pressing the button displays the following dialog box where you select the icon with the support conditions of the member and the program enters the corresponding coefficient for the buckling length. The icons are divided into two groups: 1) The first group includes the icons with a specific coefficient depending on the support conditions of the member By selecting the icon you can set the positions of the lateral securing, if any, for the specific member so that the corresponding reduced bending lengths are obtained. This feature will be enabled in a later version of the program. 2) The second group includes the member cases in multi-storey steel structure frames and allows you to define the concurrent members in the node.
