Structural Model - Round Sections? - 09/04/13 04:28 AM

Does anyone know if there any round sections available in the structural steel modeller? Or do I just have to enter properties manually (Area, I, J)?

I'm modelling some supports that are made from offcuts of 3inch Sch 80 pipe and some gussets.

Thanks

The structural database does contain "structural tubing", as found in the AISC Manual.

Why don't you just model these supports as pipe, in the Piping Input?
