Design Parameters whichever is greater CB** 1.0 Coefficient Cb per Chapter F of AISC LRFD. If Cb is set to 0.0, it will be calculated by the program. Any of value will be used directly in design. Specified the level of detail included in the output. 0.0 = Suppress all design strengths 1.0 = Print all design strengths 2.0 = Print expanded design output DMAX DMIN DFF 45.0 in. 0.0 in. Maximum allowable section depth. Minimum allowable section depth

0.0
None "Deflection Length" / Maximum allowable (Mandatory local deflection for deflection check) Start Joint of Joint No. denoting starting point for Member calculation of "Deflection Length" (see note 1 of Table 2.1) End Joint of Joint No. denoting end point for calculation of Member "Deflection Length" (see note 1 of Table 2.1) 0 0 = deflection check based on the principle that maximum deflection occurs within the span between DJ1 and DJ2. 1 = deflection check based on the principle that maximum deflection is of the cantilever type (see note 2 of Table 2.1)
DJ1
DJ2 CAN
RATIO BEAM
1.0 1.0
Permissible ratio of actual load effect to design strength. 0.0 = design at ends and those locations specified by the SECTION command. 1.0 = design at ends and at every 1/12th point along member length.
PROFILE AXIS 1
Used in member selection. See Section 5.47 for details. 1 = Design single angles for bending about their principle axis. 2 = Design single angles for bending about their geometric axis.
FLX
1 = Single angle member is not fully braced against lateral torsional buckling. 2 = Single angle member is fully braced against lateral torsional buckling. 3 = Single angle member is braced against lateral torsional buckling at the point of

Design Parameters maximum moment. MAIN 0.0 0.0 = check for slenderness 1.0 = suppress slenderness check Any value greater than 1 = Allowable KL/r in compression. TMAIN 300 Any value greater than 1 = Allowable KL/r in tension.

*Top and Bottom represent the positive and negative side of the local Y axis (local Z axis if SET Z UP is used). For a description of the deflection check parameters DFF, DJ1, DJ2 and CAN, see the Notes section of Table 2.1 of this manual. The STIFF parameter represents the term a as defined in Section F2, page 6-113 of the LRFD 2nd edition manual. ** Non-default values of CB must be re-entered before every subsequent CHECK CODE or SELECT command.
