PROCEDURE
1. SET THE UNIT SYSTEM FIRST

SET THE PREFERENCE (STEEL – ASTM(S) AND CONCRETE-ASTM(RC)

DESIGN/LOAD CODE (STEEL_DESIGN > Design Code- NSCP 2015 LFRD, AISI-CFSD86,
CONCRETE_DESIGN> material code-ASTM(RC), Material DB-grade 40

SRC_DESIGN> grade 60

LOAD CODE > UBC 1997

- DESIGN CODE >AASTHO LFRD

6. Boundary Condition (Nodes 1 & 4 – constrain all DOFS)

 Check /click > D-ALL & R-ALL
-click node 1 then apply then node 4

7. Create load. > nodal loads

 Load case: name, type add:
 Apply > FZ= -1000 (Then click node 3 apply) & FZ=-500 (click node 2 apply)
