The Section Designer is a separate utility, built into SAP2000, CSiBridge, and ETABS, which enables the modeling, analysis, and design of custom cross sections created for frame objects. The Section Designer is useful for the evaluation of member properties and nonlinear response, including nonlinear hinge and [PMM-hinge] behavior. Nonstandard or composite sections of arbitrary geometry may be created in the Section Designer, then incorporated into a structural model. Sections may include one or more materials and a user-defined rebar layout. Modification factors may be assigned to simulate cracked-section behavior. All sections are assumed to be noncompact. Additional information is available through Context Help.
