As well as the existing design properties of previous versions, the 2017.a version implements options to edit the following properties:
- Sway moment magnifier (s in ACI 318)
This factor amplifies moments for wind and seismic nature loadcases in concrete columns. - Reduction factor for reducible live loads
Forces belonging to loadcases with “Reducible live load” nature are multiplied by this coefficient. - Unbraced length for buckling due to bending
- Unbraced length for buckling due to torsion
- Effective length factor
- Non-sway moment magnifier (B1, ANSI/AISC 360-10)
- Non-sway moment magnifier (B2, ANSI/AISC 360-10)
This factor amplifies moments for wind and seismic nature loadcases in steel columns.
