Hey! For K-joists, I usually see metal deck just puddle welded to the top chord sometimes with side-lap screws between sheets too.
For mechanical openings, yeah angles to girder joists is a common route. I’ll usually frame out the opening with angles or channel, welded or bolted to the...
Hey! I ran into something similar before—double-check that your `instances` variable is actually getting populated with the correct view names from the drawing. If it's empty or not matching the current view names, `ReplaceModelView` won’t do anything but also won’t throw an error. Try printing...
Hey! If your Dassault profile isn’t giving you access anymore, try reaching out to their support — they’re usually helpful with reinstating download access. Otherwise, if you’re with a company, maybe your IT or license admin has the installer. Good luck!
Hey!
What you're describing makes sense — using a lower voltage coil with a series resistor on a higher DC voltage can speed up relay operation while limiting current afterward. Even if the resistor is always in series (not just during pickup), it still limits the steady-state current...
Yeah, torque can give an estimate of preload, but for ground anchors that long, it’s not that simple. Bolt formulas don’t fully apply here—losses due to elongation, grout bond, etc., are different. Usually, proper prestress means using a jack with a load cell to confirm tension, not just...
I ran into the same issue before. Ended up using values from literature and some references to ASME Section II Part D. You might need to check papers on cyclic stress-strain behavior for SS316, or reach out to material suppliers—they sometimes have that data.
