Overrides the reduced beam section (RBS) assignment for a design frame element. The design frame element must have a hot-rolled wide-flange cross section assignment. Because Fenix is object oriented and passes reference objects instead of value objects, the output does need to be plugged into anything. Instead, this component directly modifies the input design frame elements.
See the documentation for Reduced Beam Sections for additional information.
