Steel Frame with Pipe Load
Model to Download
Description
Not all structural elements of a real building are included in a structural model.
This model is an example of the generation of member loads from free line loads.
The pipeline should be positioned on a steel frame in this case. The load of the beam would be transferred as concentrated loads on the beam below. To avoid manually splitting the according portions of the load, click ‘Tools’, point to ‘Generate Loads’, and then select the load generator ‘From Free Line Load’.

Not all structural elements of a real building are included in a structural model. As an example, we can look at a pipe that runs along a steel girder frame.
SHAPE-THIN | Cold-Formed Sections
SHAPE-THIN determines the effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-5 for cold-formed sections. You can optionally check the geometric conditions for the applicability of the standard specified in EN 1993‑1‑3, Section 5.2.
The effects of local plate buckling are considered according to the method of reduced widths and the possible buckling of stiffeners (instability) is considered for stiffened sections according to EN 1993-1-3, Section 5.5.
As an option, you can perform an iterative calculation to optimize the effective cross-section.
You can display the effective cross-sections graphically.
