    Hi Harshal,

    Thank you for getting in touch.  I'm afraid S-FRAME does not have an input for shear center of a beam.  S-FRAME assumes the shear center coincides with the section centroid for analysis purposes. 

    With that said, Scratch Pad (accessible through S-STEEL's Run Menu) does allow users to specify Zg for their beam when using the EuroCode.

    Hopefully this clears things up.
