Hi y'all,
I'm not very well versed on welding and I have a question about appropriate welds for resisting tension in a direction orthogonal to the weld axis.
I am in the process of designing some brackets which will attach to a clevis and tension rod to hold up a canopy. I attached a picture...
@JoshPlumSE
Thanks for the insight. I'll tinker with what you suggested and keep using the workarounds like @dold mentioned.
Y'all are showing me I was a bit too frustrated earlier and I can relax a bit and make this work.
Thanks everyone!
@dold
That all sounds reasonable -- I can back off somewhat with my level of precision. I have a problem of overthinking things. Up here we tend to use the snow load as the 'live' load rather than applying them both concurrently to the exterior which is considered overkill. This is how I've...
@JLNJ
I can see that is going to be the case! As I'm developing those chops there is a period where I will probably overthink everything until I gain better intuition at the outset of a project/problem. I am doing my best to be thorough and cover all my bases until I'm confident that I'm not...
@dold
What you have been suggesting is how I have been going through it until now. It isn't 100% accurate since it requires some 'eyeballing' and only shows those values where there is a node.
I'm not quite sure why you put the word 'correctly' in quotations -- isn't there a correct and...
Hi @jayrod12
I've posted a file that I have been working on which illustrates the problems I have been having.
Take FB104 first. Both of the ends are cantilevered and the beam itself is supported from below on two columns -- support conditions set to 'cantilevered both ends'. The program...
Hi, I am a fairly new Structural EIT (<4 months on the job) at a small design firm in Ontario, Canada. I am the only engineer in the office (my superior works remotely) and I am using a different FEA software as RISA has a connection to Revit -- which is what the designers here use.
I like...
