S02 Combine - Product Spec Sheet

COMBINE STEEL MEMBERS SUBJECT TO AXIAL, BENDING AND SHEAR STRESS DESIGN | S02

Summary Effortlessly design and optimise steel members subject to a combination of axial, bending, and shear stress, e.g., beams and columns in frames. Easily process your analysis results from Sumo and Frame or use the interactive mode for quick design and checking of individual members without the need to first perform an analysis.

What makes this module special?

 Considers a combination of stresses  Interaction with Sumo and Frame  Three different design approaches

COMBINE STEEL MEMBERS SUBJECT TO AXIAL, BENDING AND SHEAR STRESS DESIGN | S02

Detailed Description Combine is a PROKON® steel member design module which allows you to effortlessly design and optimise steel members subject to a combination of axial, shear, bending stress. The steel member design modules primarily act as post-processors for the modules Sumo and Frame . Combine also has an interactive mode for quick design or checking of individual members without the need to first perform an analysis. Simplify the design of a structure by breaking it up in design tasks. Each task lists the members to be designed, the design parameters such as effective length factors, and the design approach. You can save the design tasks to a file so that you can easily recall it later. Combine provides three different design approaches, depending on what you would like to achieve:  Select lightest section  Evaluate current sections  Select from preferred sections The design results are published to a Calcsheet with a summary and in-depth design calculations for every member and graphs showing axial force and bending moment distribution along the length of the member. The design calculations will indicate whether a specific element fails or passes the required design checks.
