Assumptions
During analysis, shear deformations are neglected. Section properties are automatically
recovered from the cross section library of ScadaPro.
Technical Features in ScadaPro Tested
Three – dimensional analysis of beam elements
Results Comparison
Maximum values of vertical displacements (Comb1) and axial forces (Comb2) along
principal axis of cross section obtained from ScadaPro analysis, are presented in Tables
B3.1.1 & B3.1.2 respectively and compared with those obtained from Statik-5 software.

The project file for this example is “B5”. These files are provided as part of the ScadaPro
installation.
Conclusion
The result comparison reflects acceptable agreement between ScadaPro software and results
obtained from Statik-5.
