I want to discuss about the two options in staad pro, 1) assigning truss specs to members 2) assigning pb brace command in parameters to top and bottom chord. i want to ask whats the difference between these two? if i use truss command what effect it will have on the truss and whether i have to assign restraints that is pbrace command if i have assigned truss specs to members or not?pbrace command is use to apply top restraint and bottom same as unt and unb but at specific points.?
i have these two models in which i have used pbrace command and truss command .. the model with truss command is passing the truss but in pbrace command and releases the model is not passing.
