Formcodes for Pair sections

Within SCIA Engineer the different Pair sections are not part of the Profile Library but constructed from base sections (I-sections, U-sections, L-sections etc).

To provide an easy way of identifying pair sections when using the Open Checks: Link with SCIA Design Forms technology, each of these sections is exported using a unique formcode.

In addition to the respective parameters of the Pair section (like distance between the parts), also the parameters of the base section are exported.

The following table provides an overview of the different Pair section formcodes, their parameters and links to the respective base sections:

Pair	Formcode	Illustration	Parameters	Base section
