Results

This part shows the calculation results. The cross-sectional characteristics can be calculated using two different ways:

• Real cross-sectional characteristics are calculated according to the geometry of the cross-section and are not affected by the material.
• Ideal cross-sectional characteristics are important for combined cross-sections with more different materials (e.g. concrete and steel). Ideal characteristics are the characteristics recalculated for the material, that can be specified in the upper part of the frame with results. Recalculation is based on the proportion of moduli of elasticity.

Choice of material for ideal cross-section

The procedure of calculating the ideal cross-sectional characteristics is described in the theoretical part of help.

Results in the workspace

The workspace shows following results:

• The centre of gravity - this point is located in the intersection of axes y_t and z_t (dashed lines)
• The ellipse of inertia
• The main axes of the cross-section - bold axes marked y_h and z_h

Results in the workspace

The picture in the workspace can be copied into clipboard with the help of shortcut Ctrl+C or the button "" in the toolbar above the workspace. The picture in the clipboard can be pasted into arbitrary document or graphic editor.

Table with results

The bottom frame contains the table with all calculated characteristics. The data in table can be selected by the cursor and copied into another program (text editor). The table contains a context menu, that can be opened with the help of right mouse button.

The calculated cross-sectional characteristics are described also in the theoretical part of help.
