EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 66 If, for example, you want to change the cross-section of a particular element, you numerically locate the physical member that misses within the tree and select it to display it graphically in red on the screen and open the Properties list on the right, where the "more" command displays the window with its physical properties. To change the cross-section of the beam it is sufficient to define a new one. NOTE : The check of the cross-section will be done based on the new cross-section but with the same intensive sizes if you do not run the analysis scenario again and simply recalculate the combinations in the Dimensioning parameters field. 6.3.2 Buckling control of metallic sections This mandate is used to control the members. That is, checks are performed for each member belonging to the specified layer: Limit State of Failure ▪ Check for bending (lateral) buckling due to axial compressive force ▪ Torsional buckling check due to bending moment. ▪ Check for torsional bending due to the simultaneous presence of axial compressive force and bending moment. Limit State of Functionality ▪ Member deformation control ▪ Edge (node) movement control Using the command, the following dialog box appears:
