Hi,
I am fairly new in structural design and am using Microstran V8 for designing a Headframe under AS4100. The headframe uses two large non-standard beams as main load carrying members (depth 2.5m). I modeled the beams using the shape input, and non-linear analysis is running smoothly. Now when I am doing the steel design, it is giving me error saying that the beam cannot be checked/ designed because it is not an standard library member. I didn't find any tip in the manual. Any suggestions?
