RE: How can I check the tributary area of floor load in each of the periphery beams around a slab panel ?
In the loading page in GUI, switch on the panel information for floor load as shown in the following screenshot. Either you can pritn the panel information in output file or in an external text file. Once you have switched on these options, the panel…

Is it a viable option to release moment at all ends in bracing members?
Due at releasing moments in both ends I am getting instability in joints, plus if the moment is being released at both ends the member will have zero degree of freedom. Can anybody share a model with released moment in cross bracings.
I am trying to model a gable frame steel warehouse having tapered columns and rafters , now when I am modelling the purlins the rafter is getting split and the tapered rafter is getting split up into individual tapered members, how can I resolve this...
I have used sections from user table for modelling. Now is it necessary to create individual tapered members where the purlins are being placed or is there any other options?
RE: How can I apply Pdelta analysis for earthquake and wind load seperatley, also why is the small delta command used after performa pdelta text?
An sample model with seismic and wind loading and PDELTA ANALYSIS is attached. The SMALLDELTA at the end of the PDELTA ANALYSIS command instructs the software to include the small pdelta effect. However even if you DO NOT add the SMALLDELTA part, the…
Problems associated with modelling of abutment of bridges? What is the actual approach?
I am trying to compare the vertical reaction I am getting in piles of an abutment of a 15m span railway bridge with manual calculation. I have modeled the abutment but the reaction I am getting is not representing the actual scenario. I am getting warnings…
Is there any automesh option for plates with multiple internal nodes irregularly placed with in the boundary of the plate?
I am trying to model the abutment of a bridge having counterfort walls and piles as well. The meshing of the base slab has become very complex since of both the walls and the piles are connected to the base slab. I have used surface element for modeling…
