 General Features
Section
Builder is a comprehensive Windows based, graphical software package for
creating and analyzing simple and complex structural cross- sections of
steel, reinforced concrete or composite materials.
Section Builder includes numerous practical shapes that can be defined
parametrically. Sections can be picked up directly from standard databases.
Arbitrary unsymmetrical sections can be drawn graphically using a wide
variety of drawing and editing tools.
Complex Sections can be built up by combining previously defined sections
with each other or with sections obtained directly from the standard databases.
Various options allow the user to obtain biaxial interaction curves and
surfaces, moment-curvature relationships and stress distributions for
a given set of section forces.
Section Builder comes with a set of examples and comprehensive documentation
and on-line help to help you begin using it efficiently.
