My pipe stress guys always gives the piping loads based on pipping load combinations instead of basic loads. I've asked for basic loads but they've refused to do it. So I've just ran with what I've got and used the largest and smallest (uplift) loads. I was wondering if this is a normal thing to...
My pipe rack in STAAD is generating too much loads on the piles. So instead of doing a fix support I want to do a FIX BUT support with spring constants. How do I determine the spring constant for my support? I know the pile tolerances and some soils information.
@IFRs Yes you are correct. I meant to say it doesn't stick in paper space. And I think I figured it out. I've been using the 3DCLIP and DView by doubling clicking into model space from the viewport instead of just activating the viewport. That way I don't have to jump back to paper space.
@IFRs I can print but my elevation view shows too much in the background. The quick and dirty solution is to send those items to another layer and viewport freeze them but I was trying to avoid that so I can maintain the layers.
@IFRs I can clip it in the view-port using 3DCLIP but it does not stick when I go to model space. As I understand that command is only used for modeling and not printing.
@ohiocad I've tried that but it just makes a block after the cut which is nice but I'd like a live view as the model can change. My coworker has a lisp function from like the 1990s that can do the same but I was hoping autocad would've made one by now.
Hopefully I'm being clear enough. I am trying to make an elevation view viewport of just the front of a platform but there are items in the far back that I do not want shown. I do not want to do a viewbase because I can't freeze some layers and I don't want to send objects to another layer to...
I am analyzing an existing warehouse to replace the cladding on it annnnnnnd it's failing. Specifically the lean to portion. I applied the wind load on the lean to as if it is a monoslope roof per ASCE 7-10 MWFRS. I am wondering if this is correct. I have read in this forum...
