Node stress analysis

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I would like to ask you for some piece of advise. I have a very complicated Dia-Grid columns building. Now need to check and design connection nodes where columns meeting slab. In order to check (Huber - Von Misses ) stresses I've done some simple FE model but not sure if thats correct. I applied a internat forces from members coming to the node at the face of that rotated square. The Idea is to put a T sections in slabs shich would act as a shear studs. The problem is I'm not enterily shure if I can model it in Robot and if Yes how?

I 've got a small Revit model showing geometry of the node. But I cant import it in Robot properly. Another issue is to fnd in Robot model the nodes which are the most heavy loaded, and how to get that out put of forces at node ?

Thank you for all your help.

Regards,

Bart

To get envelope of forces, try this one;
