Design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP — Part 3: Checking the results

With the actions defined, the third part covers a step that comes before any strength verification: checking that the model responds in a physically consistent way. Deflection limits For the vertical deflection of the purlins the “200 f/L” command is used, passed when the ratio is below 1. For horizontal displacements, the maximum of 6.83 […]

Design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP — Part 1: Modelling

This five-part series follows the design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP, from building the model through to the verification of the connections, presented by Ing. Mirco Basaglia. The series works through a complete case study, with a level of detail meant to guide the designer through every stage of the work, from the […]
