EXAMPLE 2. FORMAL STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 2: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 54 For example, let's say you have set all the parameters for the Metallic Lumber layer and you want to pass these parameters to the Metallic Beams layer. You select the check box next to the "Default" option and all the parameter categories are automatically selected. Then select the "Copy" button and select the Metal Beams layer and press the "Paste" button that has already been activated. Now all the parameters of the Metallic Lumber layer have been passed to the Metallic Beams layer as well. An alternative method to set the same parameters for all layers that include metallic cross-sections is to select all layers with the "Select all" button and set the parameters for each control category once. It should also be noted that to set parameters at least one (or more) layer must be selected. The parameters for each control category are explained in detail below. ▪ By selecting the " GENERAL " section, the following dialog box appears: to set the safety factors γM: γM0= transverse stress resistance for each category of members γM1 = resistance to buckling based on tests cM2= tensile fracture strength of cross sections Here you can set the individual safety factors and a minimum threshold for the intensive sizes below which the intensive sizes are not taken into account. The above values are those proposed by the Eurocode. ▪ EΛΛKISMΣ " To set the "Tensile" parameters and check the position of the holes (EC3 chapter 1.8 §3.5):
