Add New Section
It can be used to define a reinforced concrete, steel, castellated beam or cold formed steel section in shapes defined using the Add New Section command.
Location of Add New Section Command
You can access it under Define on the Ribbon Analysis and Design tab .
You can access the Add New Section command from the menu displayed with the Right-Click of the Structure Tree 's Sections .

Name Name of the section. |
Material It is the section where the material in the section to be determined will be determined. |
Single (Profile Type) The type to be defined is determined. When this option is selected and from the list, the cross-section type used to be a uniform cross-section (rectangular, rounds, I, C...) |
Combined (Profile Type) The type to be defined is determined. They are cross-sections created by combining in many different ways (double L, double U-section…) when preferred in this option and in the cross-section type used from the list. |
Method In the case of displaying in the combined type, the method of combining different segments is determined. |
Geometric Features This is the section where the selected section type is detailed. It shows according to each section type. |
Preview It is done concurrently, which should be considered as Restricted. |
Call from library It brings the properties of a section selected from the section library to the window. |
