If any user defined section is specified using the Create User Table > General option or imported from the Section wizard, program requires the section dimension of the equivalent i section (D, TD, B, TB) to design the section according to IS800:2007 code. These equivalent i section dimensions are required to check the section class of the section. If any of these dimensions is missing, program is unable perform the design and a warning message is reported in the output file. All the section dimensions along with the property values should be provided to design the section as general I section.
