I had a very complex model that I have simplified and I'm going to check out the simple structure.

I want to manual change the section properties valves, Ix, Iy etc to account for the extra stiffness of the complex model. Does anyone know where I can get to the section proerties and not just the dimensions of them?

On the Sections tab, under Add, you'll find three sub-tabs:

1. Materials and Dimensions
2. Reinforcement
3. Mass and Geometrical Characteristics

EA, EI2, EI3, and GJ are all available on sub-tab 3. You cannot change them here. Your best bet might be to create an artificial material with E and G high enough to mimic the increase in stiffness you desire.

Good luck rich.
