Hi, I am learning to use the structural modeler.
I don't know how to find section beam dimensions. I need them because in Italy we use german profiles but with different names than the one used in Caesar, I need to check the exact match.
Many thanks, I hope you can help.

The data in the structural databases is not available for display - sorry.

Ok, linked below are the profiles we use the most:
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/he-a-steel-beams-d_1313.html
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/he-b-steel-beams-d_1314.html

Could you tell me what profile I should choose in Caesar for HEA and HEB?

The profile codes COADE uses are not the same ones we're used to.
I've once posted a question about this too: http://www.coade.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=1&Number=12852

Hi Corne, I already read your post, how did you reach your conclusion??
I think we can check weight for example... we know our weights, then we run a calculation and the SUS results should give the answer, is it right???

I --> INP
IPE --> IPE
IPBI --> HEA
IPB --> HEB
IPBV --> HEM
