Modeling a 3D truss
Modeling a 3D truss
(OP)
I am trying to model a 3D truss in STAAD. The forces in the members do no match the hand calculations I was given. Does anyone have any ideas why they aren't matching up? (I tried to model the truss by specifying the diagonal bracing as truss members.)





RE: Modeling a 3D truss
If it the latter, then why are you modeling the braces?

I am relatively new to using STAAD, so any advice you have is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
