EXAMPLE 4. METAL STUDY CONSTRUCTION WITH 3D DWG

EXAMPLE: 'DESIGN OF METAL CONSTRUCTION' 63 6.3.2 Control of metallic sections: The Cross-section check option is used to check the adequacy of metal cross-sections. Using the command, the following dialog box appears. The cross-section check is done globally for all elements in a layer. For each intensive quantity, the program identifies the element with the worst value for that quantity. The first column is the layers that exist in this study and in the following columns are the types of metallic cross-sections that exist in these layers. In this particular example, the metal supports of the structure with HEB500 cross-section have been placed in the "Metallic Supports" layer. Similarly, the metal beams have been placed in the "Metal Beams" layer and the corresponding members in the other layers. By selecting the command " Dimension all " cross-sections for all combinations will be automatically checked and the groups - layers in which no cross-section fails will be displayed in green and the groups in which even one cross-section has exceeded the unit, i.e. has failed, will be displayed in red. Select a layer and then select the " Edit " command.
