Cable Rod failing due to KL/r?
Hello all,
I have a Canopy model with cable stays modeled as solid bars. They are currently failing due to "L/R-EXCEEDS" - I believe this refers to KL/r compression analysis. I do not understand why STAAD is analyzing the rods under compression when…
Why is tension in cable not activating?
I am trying to do an analysis with small glass facade held by cables. However I am getting a huge deflection in the middle of the facade. Even I try to increase the tension in cable, it is still giving a huge unrealistic deflection. Maybe someone can…
Hevacomp Electrical systems - Twin and earth cable for 3phase
Hi,
I am working on a project where a contractor has used 2No 4mm twin and earth cables to feed a 32A TP&N 5pin socket.
I need to run a cable calc to reflect his installtion. Is it possible, using Hevacomp Connect, to run a cable calc based on the…
Compression coming in cable. How to get around it?
I am trying to make a cable system which which is originally a tension rod system. However i want to include the prestress in the model therefore I am using cable.
I have applied prestress to different region of the structure gradually but still one…
Large loss of PSCC across first leg of circuit from Transformer to Main switchboard
Afternoon all
I hope someone can shed some light on what i think is a problem with hevacomp connect, i am currently working on a large project and at the transformer, we have a fault current of 24kA but 10m upstream we have a fault current of 7.9kA…
Multiple conductors in parallel
I am drawing an installation which has several cable runs where multiple cables are connected in parallel. e.g. 2 x 185mm single core AWA per pole, or 2 x 95mm 4 core SWA. Please can you advise the recommended way to represent these in Connect?
