Constructors

Beam()

Declaration
public Beam()

Properties

Ends

Get both ends in a single list, left then right.

Declaration
public BeamEndList Ends { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
BeamEndList

IncludedAngleRoll

Declaration
public double IncludedAngleRoll { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

IsBreakApart

Used to determine if connection material not welded to the member main material will be broken apart from the member

Declaration
public bool IsBreakApart { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

true = process and create soilds will break apart member false = process and create solids will combine member material

IsDoubleMaterial

Determines if the beam's material is doubled.

Declaration
public bool IsDoubleMaterial { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

IsLongLegVertical

When the Shape is an angle with uneven legs, this determines if the longer leg will be up/down (true) or ns/fs (false).

Declaration
public bool IsLongLegVertical { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

MidOrdinateRoll

Declaration
public double MidOrdinateRoll { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

NumberOfStuds

The stud count for this beam

Declaration
public uint NumberOfStuds { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.UInt32
Remarks

CompositeDesign must be true for this field to have any effect

RollingRadius

Declaration
public double RollingRadius { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

RollType

Declaration
public RollType RollType { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
RollType

Rotation

Rotation about the workline in radians.

Declaration
public double Rotation { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

Seismic

Sets if the connection design creates seismic connections on the beam.

Declaration
public AutomaticYesNo Seismic { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
AutomaticYesNo

Automatic instructs the system to apply the choice made in Job Setup > Design Settings > Beam design loads > under beam moment. Yes specifies that the system create a seismic connection on both ends of the beam. No configures the system to create a non-seismic connection.

SeismicMomentFrameType

Sets the moment frame type used if Seismic connection design set to Yes, or Automatic and enabled in setup for beams.

Declaration
public SeismicMomentFrameType SeismicMomentFrameType { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
SeismicMomentFrameType

Automatic instructs the system to apply the choice made in Job Setup > Design Settings > Beam design loads > under beam moment. Yes specifies that the system create a seismic connection on both ends of the beam. No configures the system to create a non-seismic connection.

SlabWidth

The width of the slab supporting this beam

Declaration
public double SlabWidth { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double
Remarks

CompositeDesign must be true for this field to have any effect

SpiralRollOffset

Declaration
public double SpiralRollOffset { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

StoryHeightAboveNode

Distance from half depth of beam to half depth of beam above

Declaration
public double StoryHeightAboveNode { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double
Remarks

Only valid if Seismic is Yes, or Automatic and the setup option is seismic. and if SeismicMomentFrameType is IMF or SMF (or if Automatic and setup is IMF/SMF).

StoryHeightBelowNode

Distance from half depth of beam to half depth of beam below

Declaration
public double StoryHeightBelowNode { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double
Remarks

Only valid if Seismic is Yes, or Automatic and the setup option is seismic. and if SeismicMomentFrameType is IMF or SMF (or if Automatic and setup is IMF/SMF).

ToeDirection

When a shape has a non-symmetrical side (ex: angles, wtees; not: wide flange) this determines which direction that side faces. For example, in a wtee this decides the stem direction.

Declaration
public ToeDirection ToeDirection { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
ToeDirection

UniformlyDistributedGravityLoad

Uniformly distributed gravity load on the beam

Declaration
public double UniformlyDistributedGravityLoad { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Double

This is a force in kip/in
Remarks

Only valid if Seismic is Yes, or Automatic and the setup option is seismic. and if SeismicMomentFrameType is IMF or SMF (or if Automatic and setup is IMF/SMF).

UseCompositeDesign

If true, connection design will treat this beam as attached to a concrete slab defined by the SlabWidth field

Declaration
public bool UseCompositeDesign { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean
