Currently trying to model a 2 column 6 beam structure where the columns are W-beams and the beams are HSS. The beams connect at three points along the column height on both sides of the w-beam flanges. When I try to model this in S-Frame I receive a message whenever saving that my model has duplicate members. I can run the model but when looking at the results I don't think the model results properly transfer the loads from each HSS beam to columns. How should I approach modeling this type of structure in S-Frame?
I've attached screenshots of my model as well as drawings/images of a previously designed structure that I'm trying to replicate to this message.
Hello, Josh,
Thank you for reaching out through the forum. Do you think we could take a look at your model? We suggest you open a ticket whose content includes your .TEL file. We could give it a look at it and provide you with a clearer review of the topic. You can open a ticket following the next link: https://community.altair.com/csm?id=get_customer_support
