Staad pro help. what section property is this? Idenitifcation

[ac0609]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to determine what section property #4 and #5 is to recreate this model. If anyone can help out to identify it.

The property I need identifying is #4 and #5. I cant seem to find it in the Section Database. Thanks in advance

It's a plate with the dimensions shown, 16 inches by 3/4 inch thick. Area is just multiplied out. I didn't check the other properties, but I suspect they're correct.

The reason it's not in the database is these are user defined rectangular sections. Jed is right, the dimensions are 16" x 0.75" and 9" x 1". I wouldn't call them plate though and risk confusing them with plate elements. These properties are for beam elements. You're also going to need their orientation. This is given by the beam element's Beta angle.

If this is a matter of you having the STAAD input file but not the STAAD program, you can post it and if I have the time and can post a screenshot of what it looks like.
