To specify section properties to be used in code checking.
Refer to Code Checking for further information on this feature.
A block of two lines defining the section and its associated properties. The block may be repeated as often as necessary to define all the required section properties.
SET=Set Name, MATERIAL=Material Name
[Alpha C], [Diameter], [Thickness], [T corr], [Alpha fab], [f0], [Moment factor], [Tension Factor]
Alpha C is calculated as per the relevant DNV standard if unspecified. Diameter and Thickness are obtained from the Flexcom analysis if unspecified. T corr, Alpha fab and Ovality default to 0.0, 0.85 and 0.005, respectively. Moment Factor and Tension Factor default to 1.0.

Description |
Set Name: |
The name of the element set. |
Material Name: |
The name of the associated material. |
Alpha C: |
Flow stress parameter accounting for strain hardening (αc) as per the relevant DNV standard. |
Diameter: |
The section diameter. This value defaults to the corresponding element outer diameter used in the Flexcom analysis. |
Thickness: |
The section thickness. This value defaults to the corresponding element wall thickness used in the Flexcom analysis. |
T corr: |
Corrosion allowance (Tcorr) as per the relevant DNV standard. This value defaults to 0.0 if not specified. |
Alpha Fab: |
Manufacturing process reduction factor (αfab) as per the relevant DNV standard. This value defaults to 0.85 if not specified. |
Ovality: |
The section ovality (fo) as per the relevant DNV standard. This value defaults to 0.005 if not specified. |
Moment Factor: |
Moment scale factor. This value defaults to 1.0 if not specified. |
Tension Factor: |
Tension scale factor. This value defaults to 1.0 if not specified. |
