Welds

This part contains properties of welds, that are used for connection of beam or column to end plate or column. Two weld types are available:

Weld all around	The welds are defined only by the thickness. Welding lengths are given by the cross-sectional dimensions.
User defined weld	The welding lengths for flanges and web can be specified for this type. The program automatically checks, whether the lengths are within the limits given by the cross-sectional dimensions.

Following dimensions of welds can be specified:

a_w,f	The welds thickness for flanges
L_w,f	The welds length for flanges
a_w,w	The welds thickness for web
L_w,w	The welds length for web

The marking of inputs corresponds to the scheme on the right side of the inputs.
