    STAAD.Pro V8i Section Wizard Integration Tutorial

    Sectionwizard is an invaluable tool for the structural engineer, allowing fast and accurate calculation of section properties of any free-form shape (including warping and torsion constants), retrieval of stress values for custom and assembled shapes, finding equivalent mill sections for general sections and exporting all properties to STAAD.Pro. Sectionwizard can be run as a stand-alone application or inside the STAAD.Proenvironment.




    Sectionwizard is the most comprehensive section property calculator in the market today. The program allows the engineer to build-up any section from a myriad of international steel tables or draw the outline of any section from scratch.



    Feature List

    Create custom shapes from built-in sections and plates or draw any section using the FreeSketch Pad

    Add curved surfaces, holes of any shape, chamfers and fillets

    Import DXF or DWG files

    Create a customized library of parametric sections for future use

    Calculate section properties of custom and built-up shapes including Area, Moment of Inertia, Section moduleus, Center of Gravity, Shear Center, Plastic Modules, Torsional Constant, and even Warping Constants

    Create composite sections by identifying the Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s ratio

    Calculates and displays stresses at any point of a cross section based on Axial forces and Moments about principal axes (Compare actual stress calculations with allowables to verify the adequacy of your section

    Quickly find equivalent standard sections with properties comparable to your custom/built-up section (useful for design) purposes when codes don’t offer guidelines for custom shapes)

    Several international steel tables supported including British, French, Dutch, German, Russian, Canadian, Japanese, and Indian

    Metric and Imperial units supported

    Full Intergration with STAAD.Pro – Export out section properties to a STAAD.Pro file as a prismatic shape or user-defined table or run directly inside the STAAD.Pro environment

    View the cross-section in 3D view within STAAD.Pro

    Create MS Word reports embeddable in STAAD.Pro Word file outputs
