Member Type "Surface Model"

Can you use some support? The "surface model" member type helps you to simulate a member as a surface model in the overall model.

This feature provides you with the following:

  • Quick input using a member with a cross-section
  • Simulation of openings in the web
  • Simultaneous output of the member and surface results
  • Design of member results in the add-on
  • Consideration of a real stress distribution

You can use the surface member for the following applications, among others:

  • Castellated beams
  • Perforated beams
  • Beams with rectangular openings
  • Vierendeel trusses
