steel asymmetric L profiles - bug?

alemanda — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 08:45:40 GMT

When I chose the Steel Asymmetric L profile and change the thickess of the web I got 0 values in all the mechanic properties of the object.
Seems there's something wrong in those calculations.
I use the Italian standard library.

Just checked NL library, I get 0 values there regardles of custom or predefined profiles. I would guess it is a problem with the object everywhere.

Do the other type of profile (HEA, IPE, etc.) work properly?

Looks like it.

In my version (AC19 INT) I get this problem with "Unequal Angles Beam 19" and "Unequal Angles Column 19" objects. If I go to the Properties and Descriptions page of their Beam Settings panel in the Object Settings Dialog, all values are zero.
However, in case of all the other objects I checked in that directory, the values are filled in properly.
In any case, this is something I will report to GRAPHISOFT.

Yes, this is the same behaviour I get with ITA version.
Thank you.

Hi All,
This issue has been recorded with AC18, we are aware of it. The Unequal Beam and Column objects send a 0.00 value to the Properties & Description (eg. cross section area) while the values are not 0.00.
As a workaround the User Defined Parameters can be used from the Parameters for Listing section or Complex Profiles can be used, from eg. the import standard steel profiles menu.
