ShapeBuilder 5.0

ShapeBuilder will help composite shapes to find transformed properties.
Features:
1) Calculates Geometric Properties:
- Width & Height
- Perimeter (paint area)
- Area (gross and net)
- Moments of Inertia
- Section Modulus
- Radius of Gyration
- Centroid
- Principal Axes and Orientation
- Principal Moments of Inertia
- Product of Inertia
- Polar Radius of Gyration
- Polar Moment of Inertia
2) Calculates Structural Properties:
- Torsion Constant
- Warping Constant
- Shear Center
- Polar Radius of Gyration about Shear Center
- AISC Flexural Constants (H, C, etc.)
- Composite properties "transformed" with modular ratio
- Yield-stress weighted Plastic Modulus
- Reinforced Concrete
- Cracked Moments of Inertia
- Pure Compressive Strength
- Pure Tensile Strength
- Modular Ratio, ACI's "n"
3) Analysis Results:
- Composite Shapes
- Transformed properties
- Multiple materials
- Stress Analysis under Loads
- Axial Stress
- Bending Stress
- Shear Stresses
- Warping Normal Function
- New! Shear Flow (VQ/I)
- Reinforced Concrete Analysis
- Bar Forces
- Neutral Axis Location & Orientation
- Interaction Diagrams
- Moment and Axial Capacities
- Strain in Concrete
- Whitney Factor
- Cracked Section Properties
- Effective Section Analysis
- Reduced Section Properties (or create reduced shape)
- Stress-limited Shape Capacities (per AISI)
4) Rapid Shape Creation:
- Drag & Drop over 30 different Parametric Shape Components
- Drag & Drop from library of US and Foreign Manufactured Shapes
- Wizards for Typical Reinforced Concrete Sections
- Import Outline or Centerline (x,y) Points
- Improved! Import DXF Outlines
- New! IGES/STEP file support
- Export to IES Shape Database (VisualAnalysis, AnalysisGroup, etc.)
- Add Holes to Shapes
- Intersection and Merge Operations
- Rotate Shapes
- Copy and Paste
- Mirror-Copy
- Generate Rectangular or Polar Copies
- Import CFS (Cold-Formed) Shape Libraries; CFS is from www.rsgsoftware.com and is used by VisualAnalysis for cold-formed design checks.
