Multiple Run Steel Stairs

AECOsim Building Designer SS6. Version - 08.11.09.829

Hi All,

The total height of the stair shown below is 5000mm from ground level to the topmost landing. It has a short straight run (roughly 1000mm height) with a landing and continues a half turn with three landings to the top. 

Can anyone please send me a very quick video demonstration on how i can model all the flight of this steel stairs in one sweep or in parts. Please no handrails, columns, beams or braces....just the stair carcass is enough.

              

I would really much appreciate your help on this one

Thank you

  • Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the tip and this is exactly how i have been constructing the stair so far. i will send you a snapshot of the stair model once its completed.

    Meanwhile, i can seem to find a suitable profile/section (these are bolted 5mm thin bars) for the X bracing highlighted in the image below. Do you have any other ideas how i can model these bracing with AECOsim tools. Actually, i can model them generically as smart solids but i want to avoid this as need to be able to report on them in the datagroup explorer. Also, is it possible to add a custom section or profile?

    any ideas?
