EXAMPLE 2. FORMAL STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 16 2.3 How to modify a standard construction After importing the standard construction, you can make possible modifications or additions to create even the most complex constructions. OBSERVATION: Note that, the members of the bodies created through standard constructions are mathematical members with cross-sectional performance and not physical members. You can delete members and nodes with the "Delete" command in the "Basic" section You can add new members with the "Member" command in the "Modelling" section. Selecting the "Member" command opens a window where you can select the cross-section, type and even the freedoms a member will have: In the Cross-section Performance field, select from the first list, beam or column, from second list the compared type of cross-section and press the button . In the new window that opens, set the characteristics of the cross-section.
