    section cuts

    Hi Stressed, thank you for your explanations. I've learnt two things I didn't know. So you mean tha when I leave everything checked the moment is the sum of what each element absorb or partecipate? Thank you very much in advance for you help. Best wishes, Aliante from Italy

    Good source for the basics of FEA

    Hi , I completely agree with people who say : knowledge about theory of finite elements is essential for understanding how to model a structure or a part of it , how to implement a material and so on. Not only have you to be able to model it, but also the experience to understand the results of...

    Worth it (at this point) to take an FEA class?

    Hi to all of yoy over there, I completely agree with people who say : knowledge about theory of finite elements is essential for understanding how to model a structure a part of it , how to implement a material and so on. I also assume that you understand the behaviour of a structure under some...

    section cuts

    Hello to everybody over there, do you know where to read something about "section cuts". I have this problem: I have a slab over a beam and shearing some nodes between them. If I use a "section cut" the resultant moment in the section cuts is the sum of the moment of the slab and the beam...

    thread801-171434 modeling a floor

    Hi, I don't know how to assess my model because even if I choose the restraints as simple bearings and apply by hand calculation the formula q*l^2/8 it is just a strip of floor wide 60 cm (just one T) and I don't take into account the sharing of the slab along all the floor and it is what I...

    thread801-171434 modeling a floor

    Hi 271828, perhaps I've made a big mistake at the beginning of the process. I draw the geometry of the floor into autocad, I mean I draw only the centroid line of the rib-beam and I imported the geometry into the SAP. Into the sap I assigned the beam section to this lines then I defined the slab...

    modeling a ribbed floor

    Hi Mikyamero, I've visited the site you adviced, but I haven't found the answer to my question or perhaps I haven't understood your suggestion. Please, could you explain more clearly. Best regards, Aliante

    modeling a ribbed floor

    Sorry, I posted this in another group . I'm new and I made a mistake. Perhaps this is the right place to post it.I beg pardon. I'm trying to model a reinforced ribbed floor concrete and I've found the thread801-171434: Modelling Slabs and beams in SAP2000 very useful but I haven't understood...

    thread801-171434 modeling a floor

    I'm trying to model a reinforced ribbed floor concrete and I've found the thread801-171434 very useful but I haven't understood when Stressed says "frames offset from the slab and connect them using joint constraints," . Which kind of constraints ? When we link the slab and the frames in the...
