Hi there,
I did an analysis with default material properties. Then I tried to change the yield strength of steel from 36 ksi to 46 ksi to improve the performance of the beam, but the results did not change. It's strange. The version I used is 20.07.11.70. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I have a similar problem. I am using code EN 1993-1-1:2005, and I do add PY 355000 ALL command in Design parameters, and I can read it in the output file, but in the Steel Design Detail item there is still Material quality S235.
I tried to change it back to PY 235000 ALL, and nothing changes in results, so I think that something else is wrong. I have the same problem on several calculations.
May you please check? Thank you in advance :)
Please attach the model and illustrate the issue with a screenshot.
There must be a CHECK CODE command after the design parameters in order to consider those parameters during the design. In your model, the CHECK CODE before the FINISH line is missing, so the default steel strength is used.
I entered CHECK CODE command in Parameter 2, before FINISH line and problem is still present. Should I change anything else?
The correction: Utilization ratios changed, but information in Steel Design Detail is still S235
Make sure that you are checking the design results of the 2nd CHECK CODE command (2nd STEEL DESIGN option in the Output file). Use TRACK 2 design parameter to see the actual PY value used. In fact, design parameter 1 may be deleted from your input. I would suggest to use such input in your model:
PERFORM ANALYSISPARAMETER 2CODE EN 1993-1-1:2005PY 355000 ALLRATIO 1 ALLTRACK 2 ALLCHECK CODE ALLFINISH
Thank you a lot. This last instruction worked, I'll pay attention to assign parameters properly in future.
