EXAMPLE 4. METAL STUDY CONSTRUCTION WITH 3D DWG

EXAMPLE: 'DESIGN OF METAL CONSTRUCTION' 58 6.3 Dimensioning of steel sections: In the "Dimensioning" module, "Iron" field includes the commands related to the solution of the metallic sections with the adequacy check, the buckling check and the check of the connections. Before the Buckling Check and in order to obtain the correct buckling lengths of the members, a new set of commands is used to calculate them: 6.3.1 Consolidation of Members In the new version of the program a new group of commands has been added which concerns the consolidation of metallic members for the calculation and display of bending and deformation checks based on EC3. IMPORTANT NOTES: With the use of this tool, it is now possible for the designer to correctly define the initial length of the member per direction to be taken into account in the checks of the bending. This determination was previously made using the known rates:
