designing pre engineered PEB ware houses

Question

I would like to know whether prosteel can be used to design a PEB warehouse. Will there be ready to use PEB sections available like tapered built up sections

Hi Binesh,

Thanks for posting your query over the Bentley Communities Forum.

Addressing your query, we would like to convey that ProStructures can definitely model the PEB warehouse structures. You can certainly model tapered built-up sections in ProStructures and generate 2D drawings for the same.

Please let us know if you have any other specific requirements so that we can assist your with the same.

Regards,
Alistair Lobo.

Hi Binesh. In any event you can do PEBs now 
 you just need to set up some welded I sections using Usershapes. Chose to create a "welded shape' rather than a 'user shape'. 
 once you have drawn a parallel member you can modify it to be tapered using the part grips on the conical tab of the properties box.you can also choose to detail the beams as 3 plates or a single beam 
 there is more to it than that but its entirely possible to do what you need

hope that helps
