NSHP
CivilFEM code identifying the shape in its group.
Desg
Symbolic designation of shape.
Notes
- It is possible to define the cross section of a shape following the possibilities and the order specified below:
- If it is specified NGRP and NSHP, that is, the group and shape identification codes, the section is searched only in the indicated group.
- If it is specified NGRP y Desg, that is, the group identification code and the shape name, the section is searched only in the indicated group.
- If it is just specified Desg, that is, the shape name, the section is searched in all the groups and it is selected the one having the lowest numeration.
- The available group and shape codes and symbolic designations are listed in the Hot Rolled Steel Cross Sections Library document.
