Lateral Bracing and Steel Member Definition in Autodesk Robot

[@donaldkhanye9011]

Hello CEE,
The approach that you have used in this video to explain and to show the idea behind the “member definition parameters” is sublime; you are GOOD, you are very good sir!!
Thank you so much for the explanations. I have enjoyed this video and I am looking forward to the applications of the member definition parameters on the upcoming industrial warehouse design video scenarios.
Regards, DK

Hi there Engr. DK,
it has been a topic I wanted to cover since day 1, but felt that it is kind of an overkill to put it in 1 biiiig video with a design video, so I thought, let the basics sink in to my audience first, then boom! give them an eye opener ^_^
Great it worked out fine.
Regards,
CEE

I'm very grateful. I had this issue when designing the top & bottom chord (with no division) of a steel truss. Thanks for this enlightening tutorial.

Hi there,
Indeed, it was a topic I was thinking of covering a long time ago, but thought that I need to establish some basics on this channel before dropping that big topic to my audience. I am happy you liked it.
You can support the channel by suggesting it to your friends

Dear Prof. CEE, Thank you very much for this VDO, I'm looking to see more with steel warehouse for purlin rafter & purlin.❤

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Thats the plan, so stay tuned for more conent.

@@CivilEngineeringEssentials Thank you very much!

Thanks for the explanation, I always recommend to avoid dividing the member into parts, because sometimes we have only bracings for the lower or the upper flange, in this situation the design calculation will give you different results, so I recommend to use the actual physical member that will be constructed in the real structure, I know you know that, I just shared my recommendation.

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Indeed that is true. If we divide a member in parts, it is very important to specify exactly if the section is supported via its top/lower or both flanges. 100%.

Muy buen aporte, estimado. Interesante para tener en cuenta respecto del pandeo localizado y pandeo lateral-torsional, y como configurarlo en robot. Estoy estudiando para aplicarlo en casas de steel framing en mi zona. Si tiene algún aporte en dicho sentido con aplicación en perfiles de paredes delgadas será agradecido. Desde Argentina mis cordiales saludos.-
(Very good contribution, dear. Interesting to take into account regarding localized buckling and lateral-torsional buckling, and how to configure it in a robot. I am studying to apply it in steel framing houses in my area. If you have any contribution in this regard with application in thin-walled profiles, it will be appreciated. From Argentina my cordial greetings)

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Thnx a lot for your comment. I will rely on google translate to understand it and will try my best to answer it.
If I understood correctly, you are talking about localized buckling, so flange buckling and web buckling. Robot does check those but it does not give you the ability to brace the flange and web against local buckling.
The only time robot allows for such bracing is during the connection design, where you can define stiffeners and extra plates.
Hope it helped.
