i need to verify an existing corrugated sheet, made by steel, by sap2000. i don't understand if i can define a section by entering the depth, pitch and slope of the corrugated element or not. can somebody help me?
thanks a lot
You can either draw the corrugated shape with line elements then extrude into shells or membrane areas. You can also define as a flat shell or membrane element but using orthotropic material. Or you can model as a shell or membrane if orthotropic behavior is not important for your design. Your choice.
