How to model Monorail in RISA
How to model Monorail in RISA
(OP)
I am modeling a monorail in RISA. The monorail is S12 X 35 with C10 X 15.3 cap welded on top. The way I modeled is I created a new section and input the salient properties i.e I,Z,A,d. These values were calculated on basic principles. The other properties I used some approximate values. The questions I have is what is the unbraced length. Is it zero or the length of the beam? Whatother salient properties should I input to obtain reasonably good results.

You could also make that exact section in RISASection and import it into RISA2D or 3D.
