Morning Rafael,
I am designing a working platform which comprises of large I sections.
On the top of the platform shall be a steel grating, i am applying a 5kPa surcharge onto the Platform.
The structure is designed such that the steel grating carries no load what so ever.
Therefore, is it best to create a surface or contour, assigned with no properties and simply apply the load to the surface? Will this result in the full surcharge load being directly applied to the I sections?
What do you recommend?
Thanks
Steve
