PLS HELP IIM TRYING TO MODEL A CHANNE SUPPORT ABOVE A STEEL STRUCTURE AS SHOWN.
MY PROBLEM IS HOW TO ASSIGN 202 204 218 & 215 AS A CONNECTION TO THE BELOW BEAM.
BY THE TO BEAMS ARE CONNECTED USING MASTER SLAVE TO THE BELOW BEAMS.
ATTACHED IS STAAD & SKETCH
THANKSA1CJK04 SUPPORT_4.std
The only issue with the way you have defined the connection is, a master node cannot be declared as slave in another master-slave connection. I would suggest that you directly offset the channels from the nodes on the supporting beams. A modified file is attached for reference.
