Steel Profiles: Mirroring of hollow sections not allowed anymore (206365)
- Why it’s not allowed to do so?
- How to mirror hollow sections if it’s needed?
Hello
There was an issue in the intersection algorithm that needed to be fixed in the new version.
Since the steel sections are calculated as FE cross-sections and the old intersection algorithm is still used there, hollow sections cannot always be mirrored.
The function was then removed because from a design point of view it makes no sense to mirror pipes alone. The shear connection is missing there. So now you have two options:
- AQUA: one cross-section with two PROF commands
- Cross Section Editor: insert a cross section and twice the profile
