Assign a Stress-Strain model to A165_60 by clicking the three-dots and selecting Edit
Select Stress/Strain model as Bilinear Steel
And click Save
Each material type comes with a default curve, which you can view from this menu. If you need to customize it, you can introduce a new library component. To assign a different curve, simply select it from the selection box. These curves will be used to compute the section capacity based on the strain compatibility method. To view a sample of these default curves, follow these steps: Click on the three dots in the first cell of "A615_60" and select Edit

Define a custom Concrete material manually as Fc_3_1/2ksi_NoStiffness. The purpose of defining such a material is to |
introduce components without their stiffness. In this example, we will assign this material to a barrier and eliminate its stiffness during construction. |
| ||||
Copy and paste the data below for the Fc_3_2ksi_NoStiffness.
|
To introduce a new material |
, add a new row and specify RigidM As a general practice, make sure to set the unit weight of rigid materials to “0”. | |||||
Copy and paste the data below for the RigidMaterial.
