Opening the module

  1. Solve the model.
  2. Clique Projeto in the top bar.
  3. No Select a Design Module, escolher Cold-Formed Steel Member.
  4. No Which design code would you like to start?, pick AS / NZS 4600-2018, então clique Começar.

Cold-Formed Steel Member Design dialog with the code list scrolled to AS/NZS 4600-2005, AS / NZS 4600-2018 e Eurocódigo (EN 1993-1-3 2006)

If a design module is already open, usar ferramenta integrada com Structural 3D que otimizará projetos de membros para usuários automaticamente no Projeto menu to switch codes.

The design panel opens on the left, with the 3D model on the right. The header shows the code, plus Request Feature e Run Designer. On the right of the tab bar are three buttons:

  • the settings (gear) botão, which opens Member Design Settings
  • the log button, which opens the Member Design Log
  • Verificar, which runs the design check

When the module starts, an alert may tell you that there are important messages. They are shown in the Member Design Log, for example "6 members were loaded with default values", or members that were not imported because their section or material isn’t supported. The log has a View supported sections link.

The tabs are Detalhes, Fatores, Materiais, Seções, Membros, Restrições, Cargas e Resultados.

Member Design Settings

Click the gear button to open Member Design Settings. It has one option:

  • Checks based on geometric axes instead of principal axes: unchecked by default. It affects the capacity of sections that are not symmetric about both axes, such as Z sections.

As the dialog notes, engineering guidance should be used when you change these settings. Clique Salve  aplicar.

Detalhes

No Detalhes tab you can enter the project details. You don’t have to fill them in, but anything you enter is shown in the Detalhes do Projeto table of your reports. Project Units shows Métrica and can’t be changed here.

Details tab for AS/NZS 4600-2018 with Project Units Metric, the tabs Details to Results, and the gear, log and Check buttons

Fatores

A Fatores tab shows the capacity reduction factors:

The factors used for each member are listed in its report under Strength Limit State Factors, with their clause references.

Factors tab with ΦC 0.85, ΦB 0.9, ΦV 0.9 and ΦT 0.9

Materiais

A Materiais tab lists the materials used by the designed members, with their Força de rendimento e Força máxima. The table is filled in from the model and can’t be modified here. To change a material, go back to the Model.

Materials tab: EU IA 1, Cold Formed Steel G450, Força de rendimento 450, Força máxima 480

Seções

A Seções tab lists the sections used by the designed members. The section data comes from the model and can’t be modified here.

  • Projeto: tick the box to design the members that use this section. The icon in the column header toggles all rows.
  • ID da seção, Seção, Forma, ID de material e Material: taken from the model.
  • DSM: clique Visualizar to see the DSM factors of the section.

Sections tab with Design ticked for C15024 (Lipped Channel), Z15024 (Lipped Z) and C20019 (Canal labial), each with a DSM View link

A DSM Factors for Section n dialog shows a sketch of the section with its axes, and the elastic buckling stresses (in MPa) used by the Direct Strength Method:

Símbolo Buckling stress
fo,eu,c Flambagem local, compressão
fo,d,c Flambagem distorcional, compressão
fo,eu,bx Flambagem local, bending about x
fo,d,bx Flambagem distorcional, bending about x
fo,eu,de,- e fo,eu,de,+ Flambagem local, bending about y (negativo e positivo)
fo,d,de,- e fo,d,de,+ Flambagem distorcional, bending about y (negativo e positivo)

Any factor that is not provided has its check skipped. For a section that is symmetric about an axis, the positive and negative factors about that axis are not needed. The values can’t be edited here: to change them, vou ao Construtor de Seção and launch the Projeto de aço formado a frio módulo.

DSM Factors for Section 1 (C15024) with the section sketch and read-only buckling stresses, por exemplo. para,eu,c 264.5 and fo,d,c 366.49

Membros

A Membros tab lists the design members. Each design member is made up of one or more model members.

  • Expand Table Width: widens the table.
  • Split Selected e Join Selected: split the selected design members, or join them into one design member.

Restrições

AS / NZS 4600:2018 supports custom restraints, so you can add your own restraints to be used in the calculations. For a full description, see our documentation on restrições de membros.

  • Grupo automático: gives similar members the same restraint ID.
  • Restraint ID: selects the restraint ID to view or edit. Use the down and up arrows to go to the next or previous ID.
  • Assign to Member(s): assigns the current restraint ID to members.
  • Duplicado: copies the current restraint ID to a new ID.

The restraint table is filled in from the model supports and connections. Por exemplo, a member supported at both ends gets a row at each end.

Restraints tab for restraint ID 1 with rows at 0 (FR, você teria uma boa noção de como as conexões simples são projetadas sob o AISC, FFFR) e 6 (FF, FF, FFFF), and the Tension sub-tab with Default values on

Coluna Descrição
Selecione Ticks the row, for example to apply a standard restraint to it
Posição Distance of the restraint from the start of the member
Major Compression 2-key restraint code (F or R) for major-axis flexural buckling
Kz Effective length factor for the major axis (auto por padrão)
Minor Compression 2-key restraint code (F or R) for minor-axis flexural buckling
Ky Effective length factor for the minor axis (auto por padrão)
Lateral-Torsional 4-key restraint code (F, R or S) for lateral-torsional buckling
Global Buckling Bracing Unbraced, Principal, Fundo ou Ambos. If the lateral-torsional restraint fully braces a flange, the global buckling check is skipped for the cases that the bracing covers. Hover over the ℹ icon for details
Excluir Deletes the restraint row

Para adicionar pseudo-restrições (restraints that are not modelled), enter the spacings in Adicione pseudo-restrições por espaçamento(s) e clique Adicionar. You can enter a comma separated list (por exemplo 1.5,1.5,1.5), use the multiply operator (4*1.5), or use the < operator to fit as many restraints as possible. Clique Excluir next to Adicionar to remove all the pseudo-restraints.

Pseudo-restraints are added as released (RR e RRRR), so they have no effect until you change their codes. No exemplo abaixo, 4*1.5 adds rows at 1.5, 3 e 4.5 m on a 6 m member, and their Lateral-Torsional code is changed to FFFR.

Restraints tab with 4*1.5 pseudo-restraints at 1.5, 3 e 4.5 m (RR, RR, FFFR) on a 6 m member, next to the 3D view

Below the table are sub-tabs, each with an A (automatic) badge by default:

  • Tensão: com Default values -, the defaults are used. Switch it off to enter your own:
    • kt: correction factor for the distribution of forces in a tension member. The default assumes a non-uniform force distribution, per AS/NZS 4600:2018 Cláusula 3.2.3.2.
    • An são influenciados principalmente pelas dimensões da sapata: factor that reduces the gross area to the net area. O padrão é 0.85, which assumes a bolted connection.
  • Major Compression (Lz, Kz), Minor Compression (LY, KY), Twist Compression (Lx, Kx), Major Lateral-torsional (Lb, kLT, Cb) e Minor Lateral-torsional (Lb, kLT): por padrão, Determine from restraints (as defined in the restraints table) está ligado. Switch it off to enter your own values for the whole member. Sob Standard Restraints, click an icon to apply a standard restraint to the selected rows.

A Restrições section of each member report shows the restraints that were used: the user input (posição, códigos de restrição, knão e kei, top and bottom flange restraint, member rotation and global buckling bracing), the major-axis and minor-axis compression segments, the compression twist segments, the effective lateral-torsional restraints and the segments for each load combination.
