Submodel
This tutorial video covers the powerful option of submodels.
Plate bending
Plate bending Description A thin rectangular plate, simply supported along all four edges, subject to a uniformly distributed area load. Geometry Dimensions: 10 x 16 [m]; Thickness: 0.2 [m] Modulus of Elasticity: 1,000,000; Poisson ratio: 0.3 Elements: 10 x 16 grid rectangular elements. Supports: Pinned (restrained against rotation parallel to edge). Loads Uniform pressure: -1.0 […]
P-Delta
Description A three-story plane frame is analyzed for the additional bending moments and forces generated by the vertical loads acting through the deflected shape of the frame. Geometry Dimensions: as shown above. Sections: UB 533x210x122 (British steel I-beam) Material: Steel – Elastic modulus = 204,100 [kN/mm2] Supports: pinned. Loads as shown above Reference G.L. Kulak, […]
Spiral stairs
Description A helical stair is modeled as a three-dimensional frame consisting of beam elements. Geometry Radius to center line of stairs: 1.5[m] Total vertical rise: 1.885[m] Stair dimensions: 1.5[m] width x 0.15[m] depth Modulus of Elasticity: 3,000,000; Poisson ratio: 0.3 Elements: 24 beam elements; Supports: Pinned Loads Beam load: FX3 = -1.0 t/m on all […]
Composite beam
Description A simply supported composite beam – steel section and concrete slab – loaded with a uniformly distributed load. All beams and elements in this space model are defined on the X1-X2 global plane. Beam offsets are used to place the steel section below the slab, thereby generating the increased moment-of-inertia of the composite section. […]
