Uploading Cold Formed Sections to S-Frame

EricWheat

Hello,

I am trying to design a unit and use cold form steel for the exterior walls but when I try to import a cold formed steel section from S-Steel, it says the section is invalid.

Can someone please provide some advice to this matter?

Hello Eric, thank you for your message.

Are you getting this message when opening S-STEEL or after code-checking the structure and bringing a new section to S-FRAME?

It's important to mention that S-STEEL only supports the design of HSS cold-formed sections, so there might be some limits to this,

Any additional information you could provide will be greatly beneficial for us so we can give you a more appropriatte answer,

Best,

Tayen Aguilar
