Hi, I modeled a very simple frame with pinned supports. I applied a "none" shell area over gravity beams (set to auto-select) and a dead load. Once I run the analysis and then run a steel design check of members, the program sizes the members and shows strong-axis moments. However, when i click "Display Design Info" under Design>Steel Frame Design>Display Design Info>P-M Colors/Beam End Shear Force, it shows that all the beams/girders that connect to a pin have ZERO beam end shear force. I don't see why this is happening or how its possible, the program does show that these beams have moment, so why does it show a zero beam end shear force?
The beams DO have a 2-2 shear force when I go through Display>Forces/Stress Diagrams>Frame..., links to my model and screenshots are below.
In the components business price can often be the determining factor as to what product the manufacturer uses. For a great many mass-market products and applications, the low-cost off-the-shelf, one-piece stamped receptacle fits the bill. The price is right, the performance is adequate. Download Now
In today’s cost-sensitive world, designers are often driven to specify the lowest cost solution for every aspect of their designs to ensure that their solution is competitively priced and their company remains profitable. However, specifying a low-cost, low-quality connector solution can result in premature failure, considerable re-work costs and damage to reputations.
