great content thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

If you observe in the report, some times the end and edge distances or distance between the bolts is showing as infinity.... can you please tell the reason for it and how to rectify it

Sire about the stress the max value was 293.4 mpa , what is the max limit value? To compare between them ? Thanks . 💐

[@BuildingPointScandinavia]

Hi, sorry for late reply :) Fredrik's reply: In this case the fy for all steel parts was 355MPa. If the requirement is 0% plastic strans in the connection then 355MPa is the max limit value. But a check of an equivalent plastic strain also is performed. The limiting value of 5 % is suggested in Eurocode (EN 1993-1-5, app. C, par. C8, note 1), this value can be modified by the user in Code setup. CBFEM method can provide stress rather higher than yield strength. The reason is the slight inclination of the plastic branch of the stress-strain diagram, which is used in the analysis to improve the stability of interaction calculation. This is not a problem for practical design. At higher loads, the equivalent plastic strain rises, and the joint fails while exceeding the plastic strain limit.

if fundamental, seismic and accidental load combinations are defined, can all these different load combinations, together, be selected for the code verification of the elements of the connection?

[@BuildingPointScandinavia]

Hi, sorry late reply! All fundamental Load combinations can be selected to be included in the code check, but if seismic and accidental load combinations are enveloped, then they can not be included, as equilibrium will not be obtained. You can read more about import of Loads from FEA software Here: www.ideastatica.com/support-center/loads

@@BuildingPointScandinavia, no worries, for the late answer. I have a steel support, for which Idea Statica will import only fundamental load combinations all unbalanced. So, the explanation of Idea Statica just does not hold. These let's call them special, load combinations(see seismic) will not be selected by Idea Statica because of some equilibrium but, can be manually inserted, regardless of equilibrium. I must say, Idea Statica must change something around here. Thanks for your time and kindness!

How can i get a certification on this course?

[@BuildingPointScandinavia]

I suggest you check out the IDEA StatiCa Campus: buildingpoint-scandinavia.com/blog/idea-statica-campus This is a deeper training course, and you can get a certificate at the end!
