Members made of wood generally use a wooden-specific cross-sections. SCIA Engineer library of pre-defined cross-sections offers also a set for this material.
The procedure for insertion of a concrete cross-section into a project is identical with the procedure for any other cross-section type; the user just have to specify the type in the type-selection dialogue, then choose the appropriate shape and size, and oversee or change the required parameters.
As for any other cross-section type, the sectional characteristics such as sectional area, moment of inertia, position of centroid, etc. are calculated automatically by the program. The user may input or modify other cross-section parameters such as material, name, etc.
