    Arch frame formulations and SAP2000

    Hi everybody, I try to calculate the reactions of arch frame and comparate with SAP2000, but the results are very different, about formulary: but in SAP2000, the horizontal result is 0.38 kN, Do you have some idea, probably configuration in SAP2000? Thanks.

    Stress- Strain curve

    Hello I made a model in ansys and obtained the Stress - Strain curve, to save computing time I used the symmetry divided the model in two and the curve obviously differs from an entire model, how can I correct that curve of a model in half?

    Column in SAP2000

    How do I analyze a column like truss? I tested the main lines with the total length and the bracing connected to the main lines but the calculation exceeds the capacity ratio However, I see many structures with these sections and I decided to try dividing the column into several sections in...

    elongation in a point or area

    Hi I am analyzing a joint K of rectangular hollow section, my doubt is the elongation I can take a point or I need an area, because in a point I put the sensor of medition (galga) to plot force - deformation curve. Model in Ansys Force - deformation curve

    fracture in hollow section

    Hello, I have a curve which I get as a result of analyzing in Ansys, my question is, until when should I stop analyzing, I am increasing the strength and the curve continues to grow, but how do I define the fracture, under what criteria to stop increasing the force acting on the model ?. Thanks

    Nominal cable strength

    Hi everybody. I'm designing cables using ASCE19-10, in 3.3.1 Design Strength state I need Sn (nominal cable strength) but in Standard A1023 (stranded carbon steel wire ropes) tables only states Minimum breaking force, How I get the nominal strength? Thanks.
