    modeler - linking profiles

    Wow. I'm glad I left the "notify me of post" option on, or I would have never gotten your response. The problem was never with snapping to a point, or a plane. The problem was in linking two profile sketches together, such that modifying say, the y coordinate location in one profile...

    Moment Connection

    A fixed connection is a SUPPORT, in which you attach a member to the earth, with no degrees of freedom. The moment connection, on the other hand fixes two members together, such that no movement is possible relative to the other member. Different softwares allow you to create supports or...

    Temporary wind loads

    My only experience with this type of thing has been in the design of concrete formwork, and associated bracing. I don't have a copy of the latest, but there are paragraphs in ACI 347-78 about Horizontal Loads on bracing. They do not talk about any reductions to the wind loads. Sentence...

    Steel beams

    The most commonly available structural steel materials depend on the shape you select. For W-Shapes, it's A992 (50 ksi yield)and A36 (36 ksi yield) . For M-Shapes and S-Shapes, A36 and A572 grade 50(50 ksi). NOTE be careful - A572 comes in other grades that have different yields). etc. See...

    load applied to lower flange of beam

    And further-furthermore, many loads are applied to the web of the beam, as is the case with simple header connections of secondary framing members into primary. It should be noted also that there are some specific loading conditions in which the lower flange is directly loaded, such as the...

    modeler - linking profiles

    This question will probably just demonstrate that I have absolutely no understanding of Modeler, but here goes anyways. Is there an effective way of linking Modeler (microstation/J) profiles that are not in the same plane? Or linking a sketched profile to a feature surface? ie give me...
