Weld steel material name is used for code check calculation and supported by EN 1993-1-1#Table 3.1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1993-1-1#3.1. Weld steel list depend on chosen code or/and national annex.

 

Proposal is used for determining the optimal logical values of parameters and measurements of the structure elements as well as the optimal arrangement of these elements from geometrical point of view (not based on UC's). Proposal offers the optimal allowed modification of the construction model by making any necessary changes to the data entered by the user.
