Answer:

To import a PSC section, the design parameter dimensions have to be entered as shown below.

These dimensions are to be used for design. The dimensions are used for calculating the shear strength. If 0 is inputted in T2, then the program automatically recognizes the section as a Tee section and uses BT as web thickness.

Once this is done, the error is not obtained.

Following manual can be referred to input "Parameter for Design" for different type of sections:

Go to PSC tab>Value Type PSC Section
