The Section Modulus Editor Program allows the user to develop the beam cross-section properties required for strength analyses of beam or ship sections in intact, corroded, or damaged conditions. These properties include areas, inertias and section moduli. Sections are built up using elements, which represent common structural components.

Section properties can be displayed in a variety of forms and sections can be displayed graphically in both hard copy and screen formats. In addition to tabular and graphic entry screens for efficient entry of section data, damage or corrosion, the program provides a means for developing section properties from incomplete information using hull lines data, and section generation.
