Buckling length determination
The factor for calculation of the effective member length for buckling analysis can be specified in this window. The factor is selected according to the support style of the member. The check box "Other length" gives an option for entering a basic member length that differs from the member length specified on the main screen of the task. Range of supporting styles and factor values are based on general theories for stability analysis. Arbitrary value of the factor can be specified for the last option.
