Description

The third family differs from the previous two families in the way it is used. The parts generated through this family are not intended to be used directly. The members of this family are profiles of aluminum structural members produced by the Ryerson company. [Ryerson] These beams are available in a continuous range of lengths, with various end conditions. Thus, these family parts will just be the profiles, which the users will copy and extrude themselves. A quick survey of the users suggested that the steel beams made by Ryerson would not be used in any Raytheon projects, so only the aluminum beams were included in the table.
