Material Groups

It would be nice to have the ability to have material types in SACS. This would help when doing material take offs. This would be a new set of cards where the user would specify a material type (name) and all the structural properties (elastic mod...

Add option to include warping for torsional resistance, similar to STAAD.Pro

Currently SACS does not have an option to consider warping for torsional resistance. This yields very high torsional rotation/deflection values . See post below for more detail. https://communities.bentley.com/products/offshore/f/maxsurf-moses-sac...
