EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 65 In general, in addition to auto you can choose for which individual intensities or combinations of intensities you want to perform the respective checks. You also have the possibility to do sizing by entering your own intensive sizes through the "user" option. The results of the dimensioning in summary, (either from the automatic process or from the selection of the individual intensities, or by the user) can be viewed by clicking on the command "Issue results" or in detail by clicking on the command "Layer Investigation". The files displayed are also the ones produced by the program for the generation of the calculation issue. In cases of failure you intervene in the design, either by changing the cross-section of the failing members, or by adding additional elements, e.g. windbreaks to "relieve" the failing members. In each case you will have to calculate the new intensities and therefore run the analyses again.
