dgkhan, i am using ShapeDesigner Saas (www.mechatools.com) to compute torsion, warping properties and related stresses, is really simple and efficient and for the price is really interessting it costs me only 99$. hope this helps. and good luck.
hi,
I feel also that it is important to analyze the structure with the cranes. with staad i didn't using STAAD TO ANALYSE moving loads case, but I use the BEDAS software wich is didicated for the dynamic analysis of structures under moving loads. In this case you input the true speeds of your...
Hi,
I am using the ShapeDesigner software to calculate the section properties and the stresses analysis it's really very interessting and flexible we can import dxf complexe geometry etc.. and calculates also the tosion (J) and warping (Cw) constants.
i hope this helps

Hi,
there is no analytical formulas for the F factor (for general shapes) we can compute this factor by a finite element appraoch by computing differents energy quantities.
However, there are some software that compute this factor for any shapes to take account the effect of the Shear in...
ShapeDesigner v5.0 is a very good software that can compute the properties ( torsion J , warping Cw including the stresses analysis)of any composite section (thin , solid, mixed etc..) at www.mechatools.com
