Aluminum Design Manual (ADM) 2020 Updates in RF-/ALUMINUM ADM
The Aluminum Design Manual (ADM) 2020 was released in February 2020. The ADM 2020 gives guidance for both the allowable strength design (ASD) and load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for aluminum members to ensure reliability and safety for all aluminum structures.
- How do I apply wind load on members of open structures?
- Although I have modeled two identical structural systems, I obtain a different shape. Why?
- I encountered a sharing violation while importing a dxf file into SHAPE-THIN. What is the issue?
- How is the automatic creation of c/t-parts carried out?
- How is it possible to make factorized combinations of a dead load in the context of form‑finding?
- My aim is to mesh a circular hole plate in a mapped way. Is such a meshing possible in RFEM?
- Is it possible to consider the reduction of strength in the heat affected zone (HAZ) in the RF‑/ALUMINUM add-on module?
- SHAPE‑THIN calculates a very small shear area. Why?
- My member is oriented at the inclination of principal axis when I import from SHAPE-THIN to a 2D RFEM model. How do I fix this?
- It seems that the members stay not deformed after my RF-FORM-FINDING calculation. What did I wrong?
