Yes. Irregular sections such as concrete I beam or a beam having hexagonal cross section can be analyzed in STRUDS®. Instead of providing dimensions, the user can provide sectional properties like cross sectional area, moment of inertia about both axes, shape factor, torsional constant etc. to such beam and proceed for analysis.
