Dear All Expert,
I am trying to design simple steel roof truss using British Code BS5950.
I also trying to use steel design to check or design my member size whether sufficient or not to handle the load.
However I getting some error during analysis for M73, I selected all other members as pipe under British section database except for member M73(Purlins) I select the section as Lysaght Cold Formed Channel which are not under British section database that why i getting this error right?
Is that a way to design it based on two different section database that I selected?.
Besides that, I notice that my M1 fail at Comb.Axial & Bend Chk but when I go Select>> By Specification>>All Failed Beam M1 is not selected by Staad so whether M1 is pass or fail?
After that, I select Member design>>Perform Group Design>>Member Selection(Single Step Design) my section for M1 become PP1393.2 but now the Comb.Axial & Bend Chk is pass now, do I need use this PP1393.2 section as my final section selection instead of PP763.2 just because it pass at Comb.Axial & Bend Chk??
Thanks.

The steel truss roof design looks great,I'd like to know some of the differences between the truss and the space frame
Looks great, but I'd like to know what's the difference between a truss and a space frame?
