Just as for the concrete beam, you can define the section in terms of its width and height. Moreover you can also pick sections from a profile library and determine the most optimal section within a particular class. This requires of course that you specify the appropriate strength class. We choose for example the profile group 22 and set the maximum deflection again equal to 1\/200.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-93.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-93.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18169\" width=\"440\" height=\"390\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">1\u20222\u2022Build during the calculation gives the following warning:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-94.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"577\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/support.buildsoft.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-94.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18170\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The cross-section of the profile is too small to meet the requirement of relative deflection.
