Advance Steel for Susbtation Structure

[Janeth]

Did anyone have used Advance Steel for lattice truss structures? 

 

My requirements for Autodesk Advance Steel:

- steel lattice design (e.g. electrical substation support, isolator support, transformer support)

- simple connection (e.g. angle to angle bolted connection)

- 3D grid (or skeleton) constrained design (i.e. overall dimensions can drive design)

- arrayed braces (if possible)

-plates connections for 2 o 3 diagonals. 

-Base plates

I posted an answer it was here. Radio towers ?

 

Again maybe something exists or else a custom program required. If your in that industry find out what your competitor uses if you have friends in other companies.

 

Pretty sure last comment involved $$$ so poster went away.

 

The lattice is a repeating pattern yes it could be coded, build quantities etc also.

Portal frame steel building

I'm looking at building a small commercial bldg. as per submitted photo (50'x 120'), with wall heights in excess of 20'. With the availability of engineered wood products achieving enhanced structural capabilities, I am curious why such projects are seemingly few and far between? Any feedback would be welcome.

Concrete tilt panels used all over the world nothing new, lots and lots of stuff out there.

 

Structural timber has always been a specialist engineering task and I had the privilige of working with a company that specialized in timber structures. Laminated joints with nailing, bolted joints, shear connecters and so on. Yes pretty well drawn 1 by one. Some stuff always look back could be automated particularly connections, nails or bolts.
