Hello,
I am dealing with a beam in bending. In addition to the strong axis bending, there is a tension cable anchored to the web of the beam imparting a large concentrated load on the web of the W section. I am concerned about strength/local deformation of the web
I have not been able to find...
Hello,
I am trying to design an end-plate beam splice with the same detail as DG16 Figure 1-3(a). However, the splice also needs to carry a moment in the weak direction of the beam, so I have biaxial bending.
I am OK using Part 7 of the SCM manual to calculate bolt loads, so I am not concerned...
Hello All,
I am designing a braced frame and doing the modeling in STAAD. I am using a single angle for my diagonal bracing, and we draw the brace 1/8" to ensure that it is erected taught. Do I need to consider the draw as a pretension in my model? I am thinking that I do. The member is...
Hello,
I recently became aware of a patch that will allow me to open dwg's in ANSYS Workbench, this will save countless hours by not having to move all my CAD model's through an intermediate.
The catch I am having is that the patch will only work for versions of AutoCAD 2011 or later, and my...
Hello All,
I have already performed Time History analysis on my model and I have maximum accelerations from another program. In ANSYS I would like to perform an equivalent static analysis on my building. The maximum accelerations per node vary from floor to floor. My question is, how do I...
My work machine was recently upgraded from XP to 7.
In XP, the dynamic input cursor would move when I moved my mouse, which was nice.
In 7, as soon as I start typing a command, my cursor will lock in position until I hit Enter.
Can anyone please tell me which Dynamic input setting I am missing...
I am currently trying to create a frame with floor slabs in the ANSYS Workbench environment. My preivous models have all been shear walls only, so only Surface Bodies have been needed. My new model has walls and a steel frame, I have modeled walls as surface bodies, and beams as line bodies...
