注意
Units must be in メトリック to use this design module. In the Model, 開いた 設定 (top bar) > 単位 and set the unit system to メトリック.
Opening the module
- Solve the model.
- クリック 設計 in the top bar.
- に Select a Design Module, 選ぶ Cold-Formed Steel Member.
- に Which design code would you like to start?, pick AS / NZS 4600-2018, 次にクリックします 始める.

If a design module is already open, 使用する モジュールの変更 の中に 設計 menu to switch codes.
The design panel opens on the left, with the 3D model on the right. The header shows the code, プラス Request Feature そして Run Designer. On the right of the tab bar are three buttons:
- the settings (ギヤ) ボタン, which opens Member Design Settings
- the log button, which opens the Member Design Log
- 小切手, which runs the design check
When the module starts, an alert may tell you that there are important messages. They are shown in the Member Design Log, for example "6 members were loaded with default values", or members that were not imported because their section or material isn’t supported. The log has a View supported sections リンク.
The tabs are 詳細, 要因, 材料, セクション, 会員, 拘束, 負荷 そして 結果.
Member Design Settings
Click the gear button to open Member Design Settings. It has one option:
- Checks based on geometric axes instead of principal axes: unchecked by default. It affects the capacity of sections that are not symmetric about both axes, such as Z sections.
As the dialog notes, engineering guidance should be used when you change these settings. クリック セーブ 申請する.
詳細
に 詳細 tab you can enter the project details. You don’t have to fill them in, but anything you enter is shown in the プロジェクトの詳細 table of your reports. Project Units ショー メトリック and can’t be changed here.

要因
の 要因 tab shows the capacity reduction factors:
| 要素 | 説明 | デフォルト |
|---|---|---|
| ファイC | 圧縮 | 0.85 |
| ファイB | 曲げ | 0.9 |
| ファイV | 剪断 | 0.9 |
| ファイT | テンション | 0.9 |
If a member is not pre-qualified (句 1.6.3(c)(私)), ファイC, ファイB and ΦV are reduced to 0.8. The factors used for each member are listed in its report under Strength Limit State Factors, with their clause references.

材料
の 材料 tab lists the materials used by the designed members, with their これを行うと、その材料IDが割り当てられたすべての部材とプレートの材料特性が変更されることに注意してください。 そして これを行うと、その材料IDが割り当てられたすべての部材とプレートの材料特性が変更されることに注意してください。. The table is filled in from the model and can’t be modified here. To change a material, go back to the Model.

セクション
の セクション tab lists the sections used by the designed members. The section data comes from the model and can’t be modified here.
- 設計: tick the box to design the members that use this section. The icon in the column header toggles all rows.
- セクションID, セクション, 形状, マテリアルID そして 素材: taken from the model.
- DSM: クリック 見る to see the DSM factors of the section.

の DSM Factors for Section n dialog shows a sketch of the section with its axes, and the elastic buckling stresses (in MPa) used by the Direct Strength Method:
| シンボル | Buckling stress |
|---|---|
| fの,l,c | 局部座屈, 圧縮 |
| fの,d,c | 歪み座屈, 圧縮 |
| fの,l,bx | 局部座屈, bending about x |
| fの,d,bx | 歪み座屈, bending about x |
| fの,l,沿って,- そしてfの,l,沿って,+ | 局部座屈, bending about y (ネガティブとポジティブ) |
| fの,d,沿って,- そしてfの,d,沿って,+ | 歪み座屈, bending about y (ネガティブとポジティブ) |
Any factor that is not provided has its check skipped. For a section that is symmetric about an axis, the positive and negative factors about that axis are not needed. The values can’t be edited here: to change them, に行く セクションビルダー and launch the 冷間成形鋼設計 モジュール.

会員
の 会員 tab lists the design members. Each design member is made up of one or more model members.
- Expand Table Width: widens the table.
- Split Selected そして Join Selected: split the selected design members, or join them into one design member.
| カラム | 説明 |
|---|---|
| 選択する | Ticks the row, for example to split or join members |
| 設計 | Tick to include the member in the design check, untick to leave it out |
| Design Member ID | The ID of the design member |
| メンバーが分割されていない場合でも、非長方形の荷重は正しく適用されます | The model member(s) that make up the design member |
| セクションID | セクション(s) of the design member |
| L (メートル) | The length of the design member |
| Restraint ID | The restraint set used by the member. Click it to open that restraint in the 拘束 タブ |
Design Member ID, メンバーが分割されていない場合でも、非長方形の荷重は正しく適用されます, セクションID そして L (メートル) come from the model and can’t be changed here. Effective lengths and K factors are not entered on this tab: they come from the 拘束 タブ.

拘束
AS / NZS 4600:2018 supports custom restraints, so you can add your own restraints to be used in the calculations. For a full description, see our documentation on メンバーの拘束.
- 自動グループ: gives similar members the same restraint ID.
- Restraint ID: selects the restraint ID to view or edit. Use the down and up arrows to go to the next or previous ID.
- Assign to Member(s): assigns the current restraint ID to members.
- 複製: copies the current restraint ID to a new ID.
The restraint table is filled in from the model supports and connections. 例えば, a member supported at both ends gets a row at each end.

| カラム | 説明 |
|---|---|
| 選択する | Ticks the row, for example to apply a standard restraint to it |
| ポジション | Distance of the restraint from the start of the member |
| Major Compression | 2-key restraint code (F or R) for major-axis flexural buckling |
| Kz | Effective length factor for the major axis (auto デフォルトでは) |
| Minor Compression | 2-key restraint code (F or R) for minor-axis flexural buckling |
| KY | Effective length factor for the minor axis (auto デフォルトでは) |
| Lateral-Torsional | 4-key restraint code (F, R or S) for lateral-torsional buckling |
| Global Buckling Bracing | Unbraced, 上, 下 または 両方. If the lateral-torsional restraint fully braces a flange, the global buckling check is skipped for the cases that the bracing covers. Hover over the ℹ icon for details |
| 消去 | Deletes the restraint row |
疑似拘束を追加するには (restraints that are not modelled), enter the spacings in 間隔をあけて疑似拘束を追加する(s) をクリックします 追加. You can enter a comma separated list (例えば 1.5,1.5,1.5), use the multiply operator (4*1.5), or use the < operator to fit as many restraints as possible. クリック 消去 next to 追加 to remove all the pseudo-restraints.
Pseudo-restraints are added as released (RR そして RRRR), so they have no effect until you change their codes. 以下の例では, 4*1.5 adds rows at 1.5, 3 そして 4.5 m on a 6 m member, and their Lateral-Torsional code is changed to FFFR.

Below the table are sub-tabs, each with an あ (automatic) badge by default:
- テンション: と Default values オン, the defaults are used. Switch it off to enter your own:
- kt: correction factor for the distribution of forces in a tension member. The default assumes a non-uniform force distribution, per AS/NZS 4600:2018 句 3.2.3.2.
- あん 要素: factor that reduces the gross area to the net area. デフォルトは 0.85, which assumes a bolted connection.
- Major Compression (Lと, Kと), Minor Compression (Lそして, Kそして), Twist Compression (Lバツ, Kバツ), Major Lateral-torsional (Lb, kLT, Cb) そして Minor Lateral-torsional (Lb, kLT): デフォルトでは, Determine from restraints (as defined in the restraints table) オンです. Switch it off to enter your own values for the whole member. 下 Standard Restraints, click an icon to apply a standard restraint to the selected rows.
の 拘束 section of each member report shows the restraints that were used: the user input (位置, restraint codes, k番号 そしてkええ, top and bottom flange restraint, member rotation and global buckling bracing), the major-axis and minor-axis compression segments, the compression twist segments, the effective lateral-torsional restraints and the segments for each load combination.
