Lateral torsional buckling check

1. Lateral Stability check:

For the Lateral Stability check, a global buckling check was done in the Robot Model
changing all the load combination case from static to buckling case. The critical
coefficient Pr for the structure is > 10 (AISC, Appendix 7) which show that the frame
secondary effect are small enough to be ignored and that framing is providing enough
horizontal restrain in horizontal direction.

2. Torsional Stability check:

 For the torsional Stability a model was developed on SAP2000.
 The column was modeled using Shell Elements with 50x50 mm mesh.
 The most critical case was chosen (column with Highest moment)
 An equivalent points loads were added to the model to creating this moment.
 The base was modeled as a base plate seated on GAP elements ( only
compression support ) and 2 pines representing the bolts:

 A non-linear case was created with P-delta and large displacement. ( note: that
we are using equivalent load to the ultimate state that is why a factor of 1 is
used )
