Refer to Usage of Table Tool to enter or modify the following data:

Elem: Element Number

Section ID: Section ID Number

fArea: Cross-sectional area

fAsy: Effective Shear Area resisting shear forces in the element local y-axis

fAsz: Effective Shear Area resisting shear forces in the element local z-axis

fIxx: Torsional Resistance about the element local x-axis

fIyy: Area Moment of Inertia about the element local y-axis

fIzz: Area Moment of Inertia about the element local z-axis

fWgt: Cross-sectional area used for calculating self-weight

Part: : For sections defined as Composite Type, Scale Factors can be defined for Before (before composite action), After (after composite action) and All.

Group: Boundary Group

Note

Element stiffness scale factors can be included in boundary groups, which can be applied to individual construction stages in construction stage analysis.
