• Assign Structural Steel Material
with E=2e8 kN/m², Density =77 kN/m³
• Cross- Sections- Single Angel, Double Angel
• Measure The Dimensions – Node to Node Distance,
Dimension Beams
• Assign Self weight of Truss
• Check The Base Reaction.

 Manual Calculation
Weight of Bottom Chord – 2ISA90X60X10 mm
Length of Bottom Chord = 12 m;
Density of Steel =77 kN/m³;
Area of 2800 mm² = 2800e-6 m²
Weight in kN=(2800e-6 )X77x 12 = 2.5872 kN

Weight of Top Chord – 2ISA75X50X10 mm

Length of Bottom Chord = 6.325x2 = 12.65 m;
Density of Steel =77 kN/m³;
Area of 2300 mm² = 2300e-6 m²
Weight in kN=(2300e-6 )X77x 12.65 = 2.24 kN

Manual Calculation- Cont.
Weight of TIE & STRUT– ISA60X60X10 mm
Length of Tie (Straight) = 2+(0.667+1.333)x 2 = 6 m;
Length of Strut (Inclined) = (2.108+2.404)x 2 = 9.024 m;
Total Length = 6+9.024 = 15.024 m
Density of Steel =77 kN/m³;
Area of 1100 mm² = 1100e-6 m²
Weight in kN=(1100e-6 )X77x 15.024 = 1.273 kN

Total Steel Weight in Gravity direction (Y Direction )= 2.5872+ 2.24 +1.273

= 6.1 kN (621.81 kgs)
