I want to calculate the plastic section modulus and location of plastic neutral axis of a parallel flange channel subject to bending about the minor axis and eccentric axial compression load acting along the channel back surface for Eurocode 3 design check purpose.
I think this problem can be...
The default location of reference point for a standard shape in FEMAP is "1". I want to change it to other location by using the API function .pval(51) e.g. to point 7. I have tried using the command pr.pval(51) = 7 then, .ComputeStdShape, then pr.Put(ID) to update the properties. There is no...
I want to change the direction (NOT the orientation of standard shape cross section y-axis) of a line beam element by interchanging the end node A & B via API.
The ID of end node A and B are known. How to change the element's end node ID and put the element back to the model and update it?
I am using v9.3 and want to extract the location of cross section centroid a beam element having a standard shape (angle or channel) through API programming. It seems that there is no data showing relevant information. Only the values for I1, I2, I12, Y shear area, Z shear area, torsional...
I want to write an API (for FEMAP v9.3) to read information of group(s) of beam element and some output vectors from FEMAP and write to EXCEL.
The following shows what the API should perform:
- Define the group no. of beam element group(s) to be read (group numbers are known, usually more...
I want to calculate the reaction force (vertical) and reaction moment on supports for a continuous straight beam with several unequal spans resting on supports with rotational restraint (i.e. reaction moment occur when the support rotates).
If rotational restraint of supports are not present...
The general form of Three Moment Equation can be found in many textbook on mechanics. The right hand side of the equation is usually given in the following form:
-6 x_bar[left] A[left]/(L[left] E[left] I[left]) - 6 x_bar[right] A[right]/(L[right] E[right] I[right]) + 6 delta[left]/L[left] + 6...
I am trying to model a hollow steel shaft with the following configuration:
- one end fixed
- the other end is free to rotate about and move along the z-axis. The end cap surface is rigidly fixed to another stiff component so that radial displacement of the inside and outside rim are restricted...
