Properties Constructor

The PROPCON (PROPerties CONstructor) is used to input and edit data within the Properties database (DB). PROPCON commands are input directly into the PARAGON command line.

Properties data is used to hold properties of components and materials which may be needed for stress analysis or safety auditing of all or part of a design. PROPCON also includes data such as the material densities needed by the Design structural applications for calculating weights and centres of gravity of steelwork items.

The Properties DB hierarchy is as follows:
