Warning of incorrect steel section quantities

As of previous versions, users can select the type of subtable to create from a list of subtable models included with the program. Amongst these models are the "Weight of IPE type steel sections", "Weight of IPN type steel sections", "Weight of IPN type steel sections", "Weight of HEB type steel sections", etc. These subtables include a formula that calculates the weight of the section based on the data, provided by users, in the table (Depth in millimetres, Length in metres and Number of sections). Arquimedes checks that the depth of the sections that have been introduced by users coincides with a standard value located within the internal tables of the program. Before the 2013.m version, if the depth did not coincide, the program rejected the value that had been introduced leaving the Depth column empty.

As of the 2013.m version, if the value does not coincide with that contained in the table, the program displays the corresponding section table, so users can select the section to be used.
