Dears ,
Kindly follow the below inquiries regarding Cold Formed steel section by using STAAD Pro V8i :
- What is the impact and different between using new cold form section (not defined in the wizard )
a.at first method from export the section from Auto CAD (dxf file then user table after we copy the file inside the project folder )
b. the second method from Tools →Brows/Modify section database →Cold formed steel →selecting the needed profile type →adding new record (all specs of the section)
- What is the impact of using AISC Code instead of AISI (Hot Rolled code instead of Cold formed ) , is it work and make the design check or reject the cold steel members from the design analysis ?
The mentioned codes at the second point are optional or all codes will be available at all copies of STAAD Pro. (We need to buy each code separately or it is available in all versions ?)
