Sectional Property Calculator

Sectional Property Calculator is a tool that calculates the section properties of a complex configuration effectively and quickly. The calculated section properties can be readily input in the structural modeling by the Section Import function. The following

summarizes the particular aspects of the SPC (Sectional Property Calculator):

• The Import function permits the use of AutoCAD DXF files.

• Simple data entry using various modeling functions

• The section property calculations are provided for the input section configuration by generating fully automated optimum meshes.

• The properties of hybrid sections composed of different material properties can be calculated.

From the Main Menu select Tools > Sectional Property Calculator.

Refer to SPC On-line Manual

Sectional Property Calculator calculates section properties for a complex section by importing an Auto Cad DXF file

A number of sections are arranged in the order of cross sectional areas and their section properties are calculated
