The model describes portable aluminum grandstands, created as freestanding structures in the northern end zone of the Los Angeles Football Club stadium. The aluminum beams and frames are bolted together, with the frames providing a level surface once the grandstands are disassembled, thanks to internally threaded inserts embedded in concrete. The structure also includes folding seats and a protective mesh, precisely integrated into the fall protection to create safe standing areas. Additional details and material information are provided by Trex Commercial Products (USA).

Want to automatically consider steel joint stiffness in your global RFEM model? Utilize the Steel Joints add-on!
Activate joint-structure interaction in the stiffness analysis of your steel joints. Hinges with springs are then automatically generated in the global model and included in subsequent calculations.

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.

The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
Is it possible to consider shear panels and rotational restraints in the global calculation?
