Good day! I am designing exterior louvers for a certain project. They are designed to carry the code-based wind load. The thing is, it is not of a general section. The section looks like an A-shaped single skin louver with steel angle bars working as…

I need to analyze existing tapered members in a PEMB frame where the members have different flange thicknesses, for example, the front and rear flanges are different thicknesses. Using an ITM section, is this possible? or do I need to create a shell…

Hi, Please help in identifying the Tapered Member profile used in Staad with respect to the Tapered MembNo: xxx appearing on the Analysis output. For Example, where we can see the tapered MembNo: 1970 shown below, in the actual staad model. Also…

1) Design check by IS Code 800-2007 LSD fails gives result of Bending Ratio = “INFINITY”, which passes with AISC 360-10 ASD Ratio 0.44! Also IS 800 code output does not give any ratio in both major, minor axis! 2) Is this 12 mm Flange thickness is critical…

Dear Team Bentley, I have a curious question to ask regarding Member Size in Properties for Tapered Sections. My queries as below: 1. Why STAAD show Tapered Section with 1,2,3 etc. instead of Member Sizes like (d1-d2)xtw+2*(b1-b2)xtf1/tf2 like this…

I am wondering how RAM Elements handles a tapered member with a torsional load applied to it. Can RAM elements correctly handle this situation? I have created a custom tube that is 20" deep. I then Specify that this member taper from 20" deep at the center…

Hi, I'm having a 'Nullable object must have a value' when design module is being ran checking the option for 'Use MBMA special considerations'. The design is able to run if the option for MBMA provision is not being selected. The design module checking…
