Can any user of FrameCAD Pro Design software tell me how it calculates the Effective Area in Section Capacity in analysis/design. I found that effective area calculated by software is equal to and in some cases greater gross area of section. Whereas effective area should be less than gross area.
Kindly also tell me if this area is calculated by program itself or is it predefined in library files of it.
Waiting for help.
