EXAMPLE 2. FORMAL STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 19 - Wind load at x : 8KN/m on light red coloured columns and 2 KN/m on dark red coloured columns. - Wind load at z : 3KN/m in all columns. *Alternatively you could put the wind as a load on the thwarts . In detail : Within the "Loads" section and the "Member Loads" command group, select the "Import" command. and then left-click on the members you want to give loads to. You can select them either one by one, or collectively through filters. Here, we will use method 2 (h). So, after clicking on "Import " then click on the "group selection" button which opens a new window: The "Group Selection" is a very useful tool which allows you to select elements of the construction based on specific criteria which are displayed on the left of the above window. In this example, colour filter will be used next, i.e. the selection of elements to impose loads based on their colour.
