EXAMPLE 3. NON-STANDARD STUDY METAL CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 3: 'DESIGN OF A METAL STRUCTURE' 68 In this way the program will calculate as the buckling length ( bending buckling field - direction Y and Z) the length that has been given to the member geometrically (i.e. the length of the member from start node to end node). If instead you chose to set the bend length to an actual value you could enter a value in the "actual" field in meters. Then the program would take as length what you would arbitrarily set -manual. In earlier versions of SCADA Pro and before the creation of the command , the user was asked to set the length of the member and the bending length in both the Y and Z directions respectively, following the procedure below: In " Length of Membership ": - if you select " Actual " you must enter in the field the actual length of the member in m.
