Steel hall - Frame Autodesign

Most of Autodesign items are related to the optimal design of steel frames or halls. The following items are related to the frame design:

• Frame - Autodesign manager
• Frame – CSS height Autodesign
• Frame - deflection Autodesign
• Frame - flange Autodesign
• Frame – web Autodesign
• Frame - flange thickness Autodesign

All items mentioned above are demonstrated on a simple steel frame (S355) made of Iwn cross-sections. The frame is 30m long with 6.0m high columns. The top point is 2.0 above the head of the columns. The structure is subject to self-weight, permanent load (-3kN/m), variable load (-5kN/m) and automatically generated climatic load (wind, snow) according to EN.

Eight different cross-sections are used (two for columns and six for rafters). All cross-sections are welded.
