Can Diamonds calculate composed sections (for example: HSS with concrete poured into it)?

No, the design rules for composed section are in Eurocode 4. Eurocode 4 is not implemented in Diamonds. 4 alternatives:

	Elastic analysis (the internal forces M, V, N)	Design
1	Based on composed concrete-steel section -> define the section in Section Utility In Section Utility, set the default material to steel Define the parameters with ‘Imposed classes’	Based on steel section according to Eurocode 3. Contribution of concrete is neglected
2	Based on composed concrete-steel section -> define the section in Section Utility In Section Utility, set the default material to concrete	Reinforcement calculation based on concrete section according to Eurocode 2. Contribution of steel section is neglected
3	Based on steel section -> or Contribution of concrete section is neglected	Based on steel section according to Eurocode 3. Contribution of concrete is neglected
4	Based on concrete section -> Contribution of steel section is neglected	Reinforcement calculation based on concrete section according to Eurocode 2. Contribution of steel section is neglected

Note: although we support composed concrete-steel sections in the global analysis, we don’t support design according to Eurocode 4.
