Cladding Load Distribution

Anonymous — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 04:40:53 GMT

Hi all,

I have a structure like as attached. The claddings are in 3D planes. The pressure is applied normal to cladding at each cladding panels. Cladding loads need to transfered into the Nodes connecting the triangle without putting the member into bending. How do i apply this way? I am reletively new in Robot and couldn't figure this out.

For example the panels connecting node 39. All the loads from the panel need to go as a nodal load into node 39. How is this acheived?

Thanks in Advance

You need to have RSA2015 or later and create the registry as below:

TrussLoadDistribution=1 (DWORD 32bit) in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Structural\RSA\28.0 (or higher number depending on the installed version) \Settings

Mind to set it as 0 when you are done with this project to restore the standard way of cladding load distribution.

Please be informed that editing the registry is on your own risk.
