Dear Staad community.
I'm having some problems to model a wall with a sloped beam, basically, I need to reshape some plates to match the sloped beam but I'm been unable to do it. Unfortunately, I'm not so savvy with plate modeling therefore, I hope you can guide me. In the image below you can find pretty much what I'm talking about, I just need move those upper plate's nodes to match the beam.
Thank you!
There are different ways to do it. The simplest way to do it using parametric meshing. You will find an option "Slab/wall connection" under geometry tab. Using that you can generate the meshing in that region. The first and second point of your selection must lie on meshed panel.
The other option is you can create points there using dummy members which you need to delete after getting the points. Then you can add plates manually with those points.
I will prefer the first one. Please see attached file for slab/wall connection icon location marked with red.
Hi Abhisek, I don't have it right now, but is it really necessary?
Could you please upload the file?
