Position of Design Points for Suspension Crane in CRANEWAY

I would like to use the CRANEWAY add-on module to design a suspension crane. Where are design points 0, 1, and 2 for the stress analysis on the bottom flange and for the fatigue design?

Answer:

The design points in CRANEWAY have been adopted in compliance with the standard. In this case, the stresses are calculated for the following locations:

  • Design Point 0: A periphery of the flange at the web edge or at the fillet start
  • Design Point 1: A flange at a load application point (this can be checked as wheel spacing in Window 1.4)
  • Design Point 2: Flange edge

These points are not displayed in the resulting cross-section graphic in the CRANEWAY program. However, there is always a stress point at design points 0 and 2 for which the result values can be displayed directly.
