Using Your Designed, Custom Sections in S-FRAME.
S-FRAME stores and displays different steel section databases, letting the user decide which sections are more fitting to represent and try different conditions. In common practice, the user tends to use these default databases, however, some projects and models require using sections with specific properties, outside of…

Understanding Building Vibrations Using a Simple Ruler
In this video we will examine a simple example of a ruler that undergoes free vibration. We will look at different ruler cross sections, orientations, and more to see how that can influence the dynamic properties of our model. We will also draw parallels to building structures, and learn what a ruler has in common with its…

S-CALC - Importing Sections from S-CALC into S-FRAME
S-CALC can be used to calculate section properties for non-standard section geometry. These sections and their properties can be imported into S-FRAME and assigned to structural members for analysis. This tutorial shows how to transfer S-CALC sections to S-FRAME and assign these sections to members using the merge feature…
