Good day, everyone!
My query is about using the Modal Frequency Calculation...
I've been checking the modal frequency of the structure as a whole but the client asked how we deal with the concentrated loads in the middle of the beams.
I said that if they wanted to check the frequency considering the local displacement of the members, we'll have to add joints at the load locations and run the model again.
But they don't want that because it's too much of a hassle and just want the detailed output.
I've never seen a detailed output for Frequency Calculation but is there a detailed output or a way to check the how STAAD deals with members that have a concentrated load at the middle?
Thank you in advance!
