This option is used to define the buckling length of members. It is available after pressing the appropriate icon (for the Y or Z direction) in the
Buckling length coefficient field of the Member Definition Parameters dialog box.
The buckling length coefficient is entered automatically once one of the icons with the appropriate end support conditions is selected. The icons are
divided into two groups: the first contains typical (code) methods of the member support and the corresponding buckling coefficient values,
whereas the other contains icons for calculating the buckling coefficient for columns of multistory frames (calculation of the buckling length
coefficient for one, three and six adjoining bars). Doubleclick on one of the icons that represent calculation of the buckling length coefficient results
in opening an additional dialog box.
Buckling is always considered in calculations when a compressive force is acting on a member, even if it is negligible in relation to other internal
forces. The program does not analyze it on its own if the buckling effects may be disregarded or not. If the user wants to exclude the buckling
effects from the calculations, the icon must be selected. It means that the buckling will be ignored in the calculation process.
The last icon enables members with internal bracings (lateral stiffeners of the analyzed members, limiting the buckling length) to be considered
in calculations. After a doubleclick on this icon, the Internal bracings dialog box appears on screen, which allows definition of parameters of lateral
stiffeners.
