Model Data
Model
Based on the manufacturer's BIM model, the Matrix engineers created a 3D finite element analysis model to calculate the various stresses throughout the entire structure. In addition, it was necessary to ensure that the deflection of the stairs would be kept to a minimum so that no damage would occur to the terrazzo flooring.
The stair stringers (which also function as fall protection) as well as the steps are made of steel sheets t = 0.98 in. with a steel quality S275. The height of the stringers is approx. 4.59 ft. The Steel Design and Stress-Strain Analysis add-ons were used for the design in RFEM.

- The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
- I received an error message “Surface of incompatible type... (Surface in upper plane of building story must be of ‘Load transfer’ type)” when running the calculation. What is the reason?
- How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s) Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s), Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- My live load is less than or equal to 100 psf. How do I consider the reduced load factor in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- How do I include the redundancy factor(s) ρ in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
- I do not see the seismic load cases in my generated ASCE 7 load combinations (COs). How do I add them?
- How do I create an imperfection based on a mode shape in RFEM 6?
