Steel design

[ichnos]

Hi all,

i'd like to know if it is possible to perform the steel design procedure (aisc-asd-05) if my model has custom steel sections, drawn through the utility "section designer".
it's important to know if the slenderness ratio for webs and flanges are taken into account.
thanks

Other than digging through the documentation, the only other thing you can do is put in a member with a known answer and see what it does.

Have you tryed "nonprismamtic sections"?

If you make a section by section designer and want to design it make sure that you chose steel design in section designer and I think it will take the slender ratio into account because it was calculated by design center
