Template - Beam

Use the Beam form to specify the following items by typing directly in the edit boxes or checking or unchecking the check boxes. A drawing of the beam will be shown in the small display box.

TIP: Click the + (plus) symbol next to the drop-down list to access the Frame Properties form; use that form to add, modify or delete a frame section definition. The Advanced > Assign > Frames > Frame Sections command can be used to change the section property later, if needed.

Access the Beam form as follows:

  1. Click the File > New command to display the New Model form.

  2. Set the Units to Metric or English using the Initialize Model from Defaults with Units drop-down list or the Initialize from Existing Model option.

  3. Click the Beam button to access the Beam form.
