1.3 Model description (ROHR2)

The system consists of four equal long bars (lC= 10 ft ≙ 120 inch). For this model it necessary to generate a new profile (IPB30“ see figure 4) with the given moment of inertia of 9150,0 inch4. The section parameters of the profile are written in the profile database (see figure 3).The beam is supported by two simple supports. At point B the torsion and axial displacement is fixed to avoid a singular system: At both sides, between end and boundary condition, constant line loads are applied. The line load were increased by a factor of 100 to increase the number of significant digits in the output. In the Lc Load1 the gravitational acceleration is not taken into account.
