Good afternoon to all, i have a problem into advance steel. In the software Tekla you have a buttom for that so i supose you have this into advance steel also, but i don't no how to do this.
See my project, lots of colums for a very big building, but the calculation engineer ask to place the colums like in picture below. Can somebody advice how to do this into advance steel. The picture at last is in Telka, so they this buttom do this. Thanks in advance
Hi,
I think you are trying to create a portal frame structure. For this you can use a structural element macro to create the portal frame of 2 columns and 2 rafters, you will find this on the home ribbon tab.
for the connections you need to goto the plate type connections and look for connections that create haunches, there are several different types, similarly there is an apex connection for the ridge location.
if you look in the advance steel help you will find reference to these commands.
also there are many videos out on YouTube to aide this process.

Hi,
The Portal frame joint will let you define the angle of the rafters. There is no way to define tolerances in Advance Steel. Everything is modelled exact and you have to define tolerances on the drawings manually; such as in notes.
If you want the end of the rafter cut to a different angle than the final position of the haunch then there is no way ot do that in the joint but you can manually add a second shorten to the end of the rafter at 0.5deg different angle.
