About the Section factor
- Dorien Elleboog
After a thermal analysis , the ‘Section factor’ can be requested in the data table . But this value does not correspond to section factors that you can find in (most) tables (such as this one). This is because Diamonds shows the shadow factor ksh multiplied by the section factor…
