Column 5 and 6: Profile Angle

The interface only supports Y is U for Staad Pro. The Profile angle is the difference in angle between the AVEVA E3D Design profile and the Staad Pro profile. The method to set the angle is:

Display the AVEVA E3D Design profile in Paragon:

Manually create a section in Staad Pro for the profile that is to be transferred from AVEVA E3D Design. In this case, the ST Angle profile is the correct profile.

The section is extruded in the global Z direction in decreasing Z direction. That is, the start point Z co-ordinate is larger than the end point. The view of the section from the Z axis is:

Rotate the Staad Pro section using the beta angle property until it is identical to the AVEVA E3D Design view. The angle is 75.6582 for the ST angle profile.

The value of column 5 is 75.6582 or the beta angle.

The value of column 6 is -14.3418 or -90 from column 5.
