Presentation Transcript

  1. General purpose cold-formed steel component design software

  2. Cross-Section Capabilities • Any cold-formed steel shape, including panels • Composite shapes such as back-to-back cees • Open and closed shapes, including cylindrical tubes • Outside or centerline dimensioning • Holes in elements • Editing features: cut, copy, paste, insert ribs • Section libraries for SSMA, LGSI, and HUD • Output geometry to DXF file

  3. Example Sections

  4. Working With Sections Numerous material choices Graphical interface Customize material Convert units with drop-down Cold work of forming option

  5. Section Calculations • Full and net section properties using exact integrations • Torsional properties calculated using rounded corners • Carbon steel design per 2004 AISI North American Specification, as well as 2001 and 1999 Editions • Stainless steel design per 2002 ASCE Specification • ASD, LRFD, and LSD strengths for tension, compression, bending, and shear • Effective section properties at yield stress

  6. Example Output

  7. Design Checks • Member check • Strengths based on specified unbraced lengths • Axial/bending interaction equations • Bending/shear interaction equations • Effective section properties at applied loads • Web-crippling check • Web-crippling strength for unreinforced webs • Web-crippling/bending interaction equations

  8. Design Check Dialogs

  9. Analysis Capabilities • Analysis problem types • Beam-columns • Continuous beams • Multi-span beams with laps • Horizontal, vertical, and torsional supports • Discrete bracing and one-flange bracing • Axial loads and lateral loads at any angle • ASD and LRFD load combinations • Member checks and web-crippling checks

  10. Working With Analyses Lapped Members Wind Uplift Load Discrete Braces Top Flange Braced

  11. Analysis Diagrams

  12. Design Check Options Run all load combinations Run current load combination Specify locations to report Add other checkpoints

  13. Example Member Check Design parameters Loads and design strengths Effective section properties Interaction Equations

  14. Elastic Buckling Analysis • Finite Strip Method • Any shape part • Automatic element meshing • User-specified stress distribution

  15. Local Buckling Distortional Buckling Panel Buckling Torsional- Flexural Buckling Elastic Buckling Profile
