Dear all.
I have been trying to model steel structures in SAP 2000. Could anyone throw some light on modeling a builtup section for a plate gorder WITH STIFFNERS? Without stiffners I can create the section within SAP 2000 general section builder. However, if I have vertical stiffners sau angles are welded to the plate girder at a distace of say 1 m each, its getting complicated or may be I dont know how to model it correctly.
Its a welded plate girder.
In addition does anyone has some idea on mdeling moving loads from a 4 wheel crane loads on a girder...kind of Gantry girder.
Thanks in advance
