Need help with Load definition.
Need help with Load definition.
(OP)
I am designing a beam and plate shoring system. I have the project modeled right now. The problem I have is defining the load that is applied to the plate and then transferred to the members. The top 0-25% of the load is triangular 25% -75% is rectangular, the bottom 25% is triangular. How I define the plate load in this manner. Or should I apply it s a aream member load and do it in sections. If so, ho can I change the distribution to triangular for certain sections? I am using Risa3d 5.5.
thanks
thanks





RE: Need help with Load definition.
You can use the "high level generation" function to approximate a triagular load over the plate mesh with a series of stair-stepped uniform surface loads.
The newer versions of the program have a "wall panel." feature will allows you to apply triagular loading to your wall. Much easier than it used to be.... at least for rectangular tankes and retaining walls.
