Design frame section in SAP2000 section designer
Design frame section in SAP2000 section designer
(OP)
Hi all.
I have the following problem.
I was asked to point out the easiest way to import/design a section in the section designer of SAP2000.
I have the following section (it looks like a C section but it is more complicated) and I was thinking if I can import its characteristics directly with the use of e.g. import an autocad dxf file.

If you cannot see the image download from here:

Can I do that or should I design it in the designer?
If the latter is the case how can I design the curved parts in the designer?
Sorry but it is the first time that I come across a user defined section. :(
