In the 2019.a version of CYPECAD and CYPE 3D, users can now define steels for which they can indicate their elastic limit. The modulus of elasticity, thermal expansion coefficient, density and Poisson's ratio are defined internally by the program using the values of the steel. For U.L.S. checklists, the type of steel that is used can be seen.
As well as the elastic limit and depending on the selected code, additional data may be required to design connections.
The user steel library can be accessed from General Data. Rolled or cold-formed steel can be assigned to the sections as can steels that are established by each standard.
User-defined steels can be exported to the library to be used in other projects. They can also be selected as initial steels for the creation of new projects. The library is common to CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.
