[steel shapes] canada

[steel canada] provides access to the CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION latest Structural Steel Sections Database (version 9.2), containing the mechanical and geometrical properties, in metric units, for section types W, S, M, WWF, C, MC, L, WT, WWT, 2L, WRF, SLB, HS (HSS CSAG40.20/21) and HA (HSS ASTM A500).

Based on the same code base as [steel], the best mobile structural steel reference on the App Store, it differs on only two aspects, the database each contain (CISC vs AISC) and [steel canada] is able to display side by side the Metric & Imperial equivalent designation for any of the shapes it contains. This is a one-up feature over [steel] that will make it useful even for engineers outside of Canada!

FEATURES:

** BROWSE & SEARCH for sections in the main window, displaying either of:

- Metric Designation, only metric names displayed and search conducted on these values.
