    Lightbulb Creating standard profile

    Hello

    I am trying to find into the profile database an HSS 16" X 20" th 1/2"... tough it does not come up in any of the databases, how can I create one...I do know how to calculate it´s properties, i.e. moments of inertia, shear centre. etc... and when I check the weitght per m..and compare it with the ones that came on the AISC tables,they does not match at all....is there anyone who can help me with this issue

    Thankful in advance
