This article draws a parallel between generating an FE mesh for separate objects using the “Independent FE mesh preferred” option, and generating the mesh without using said option.
In this article, you will learn how to model a simple end plate connection in RFEM 6.
Utilizing the Steel Design Add-on, steel design is possible according to the AISC 360-22 standard. The following article will compare the result output when calculating lateral torsional buckling according to Chapter F vs. an Eigenvalue Analysis.
Plate girder is an economical choice for long spans construction. I-section steel plate girder typically has a deep web to maximize its shear capacity and flange separation, yet thin web to minimize the self-weight. Due to its large height-to-thickness (h/tw) ratio, transverse stiffeners may be required to stiffen the slender web.
In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
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.
