Plate Elements - Part 2

[@foonhaocheng3505]

Hi, Thanks for the video. What would you be doing if i want to model the internal forces of a UB beam through plate analysis? What would be a good reference?

Hi @foonhaocheng3505. Thank you for the question. You could try modelling the cross-section using dummy members and then use the extrude members tool to create a member out of plates. Then you can load the plates, run analysis and view the plate stress contours or buckling mode shapes. You can read more about this in our help manual: www.spacegass.com/manual/Input_and_Editing_Tools/Extrude_members.htm We also have a very exciting new feature coming soon which will speed up this process. If you have any specific queries, please send us an email: [e-mail]
