GROUPWT

 

Purpose:  Used to specify bracing weight when bracing is defined using section properties in Girder System Projects.  (Not applicable to Line Girder Projects.)

 

-->    Given in bracing input

 

A list of bracing weights per brace (k or kN) by group (see GRP-i) to accompany GROUPI and GROUPJ.  Only values corresponding to nonzero values of GROUPI and GROUPJ are effective.

 

For example, GROUPWT  0 5 0 indicates the shapes and bracing type are given for groups 1 and 3, but a weight of 5 is to be used for group 2.
