can you please explain simply that when I will assign pinned support and when fixed in ETABS? Please do not mention huge geotechnical issues here as they just sometime make it much more complex, you please explain it simply with soil condition basing or footing based.Ģ.
So now can you please tell me in short if you don't mind please, that the using of SAP why better or you prefer for steel analysis and member sizing than ETABS? What privileges I will get better in SAP than ETABS for steel? And also, so for connection design or baseplate, Can I do that from connection loads or forces output from SAP and in RAM connection if you know, as I will have to learn that and I am not in touch with any fabricator ? Thanks again for hanging out with me and providing informative information, I am really gratefulĪnd please help with these issues I posted another thread and now deleting and so posting here :ġ.
#Limcon steel connection design software crack how to
Get yourself a few good steel design textbooks, the AISC code and their design guides and really learn how to analyze and design in steel and you will likely end up really learning some engineering, instead of just plugging in numbers, for a canned solution which you may not understand or know when the solution isn’t right for the particular situation.Thanks a lot. It seems to me that much of today’s general software allows many people who don’t really have the vaguest idea what they are really doing, pretend they are doing engineering. Most connection software just automates the analysis and design process for what any good designer should know how to do longhand and with a bit of knowledgeable and experienced engineering thinking. Despite the way it is being used these days, FEM is not (should not be) a substitute for knowing how your structures or your details actually function and work. RE: Steel Connection Design phamENG (Structural) 18 Apr 21 16:06ĭik says…, “FEM has a purpose.” But, anyone who thinks they need FEM to design most normal connections, probably shouldn’t be designing connections. Does most of the same stuff (maybe even more total connections), but the interface and the output look kind of clunky. RAM Connection: My sense is that this is kind of a poor man's RISAConnection. A quick perusal of their website suggests that they've updated a good bit. It's interface and output always seemed a little dated to me. as they've gotten rid of most of their most knowledgeable engineering staff since Nemetschek took over.ĭesCon is probably the most highly regarded and well known of these programs. I don't have much confidence that the current management at RISA can provide that. They need structural engineers with knowledge and experience guiding them. The developers themselves are brilliant Ukrainian mathematicians and programmers. The only drawback with that program is that I don't really trust the current team over at RISA. Plus, the interface, results presentation and such were somewhat hard wired towards my preferences. I have a bit of a bias towards RISAConnection as I have so much experience with it. But, I don't remember the name and it didn't come up in my internet search. But, the original developer (Omer?) was very well regarded and respected.Ħ) There was an australian company that did really good connection design, if I recall. It might have stuff that you could use.ĥ) DesCon or DesConPlus - This is sort of the grand daddy of connection design programs. Looks okay.Ĥ) Steel Tools - This is more like a repository for people to upload their share-ware spreadsheets and such. Though I now work for a competitor to RISA.ģ) Civil Bay - I hadn't heard of this one until my latest google check. Note I was the program director for this product for a couple of years. For the purpose of this repose, I'll limit the ones I know of to the stand-alone programs that focus on steel:Ģ) RISA has a connection program. Some built into other software, some stand alone. There are a number of connection design programs out there. just done programmatically with the equations and such reported. Rather, he's talking about traditional connection design. I don't think he's talking about FEM design.
