EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 64 The fact that a layer is shown in red does not mean that all members of the layer have failed. To see for example which columns have failed you should select the "Steel Beams" layer and then select the " Edit " command. In the window that appears, you can see in tabular form the results of the cross-sections of the selected layer with colours and values. In the automatic procedure, the program finds the 12 worst combinations of all the members of the vector (Max N with the corresponding 6 group of intensities, Min N and so on) and performs the check. (see Manual Chapter Sizing). When you touch your mouse cursor over a red cell then the value displayed will be above unity (miss).
