Assigning the parameters

The procedure to assign the defined parameter

1. Input the cross-section in usual way.

2. Define the parameters.

3. Select the node (vertex) whose position should be defined by means of "length" parameter.

4. In the property table of the node, select the appropriate parameter.

5. Repeat for other nodes.

6. If applicable, select the rolled cross-section whose size and type is to be defined via parameter.

7. In the property table of the node, replace the type by the appropriate parameter.

8. Repeat for other rolled cross-sections.

9. Close the General cross-section editor.

Note 1: Whenever the value of parameters is changed, the corresponding cross-section is reshaped accordingly.

Note 2: What’s more, the parameters appear in the editing dialogue of the cross-section. Therefore, it is easy to change the cross-section section without necessity to open the General cross-section editor.
