Finite Element Analysis of a 3D Frame Structure
|
Hi friends, Finite element analysis (FEA) is something almost every engineer nowadays uses to design steel, timber and reinforced concrete structures. But unterstanding the method and software programs that use the method is not easy. That's why I partnered with SkyCiv to produce an in-depth video tutorial showing how to use an FE program to design a 3D steel frame structure like a warehouse. Click → here ← to watch it. In the video, I'll show you how to:
As a Structural Basics reader you'll get an extended 30-days free trial for SkyCiv's powerful 3D FE software program and all of their other structural analysis tools.

I always appreciate feedback in the YouTube comments section. Thank you, SkyCiv, for sponsoring the Structural Basics YouTube channel. See you next Wednesday my friends. Let’s design better structures together, Laurin. ↓ Follow me on Social Media. ↓ |

Hi friends, Today we'll design a timber column. The 4 Steps To Verify Timber Columns According To Eurocode Let's use the center column of the canopy structure that we also used in the last episodes as an example to show the calculation steps. Step #1: Define the material properties of the timber element We first define the material properties of the timber column. In this tutorial, we'll use C24 as the timber material. For small structures like this which aren't exposed to big loads, C24 is...
Hi friends, In the last weeks, we learned all the basics of timber design. Today we'll design the first timber element: a timber beam. Also, I wanted to thank you guys for your support with Module #2. I hope it'll help you in your engineerng journey and if you have any suggestions of making it better, please reach out! After having received so much good feedback already about Module #1 and #2, I have already started with Module #3: Structural Design of Reinforced Slabs and Walls of a...
Hi friends, Just a quick reminder: It's 1 week out until the launch of Module #2: Structural Design of a Residential Timber Roof. I will send you an email with more information about the e-book on Saturday. I already said it in last weeks e-mail, but here it is again: I am super excited to share this e-book with you. I am smiling while I am writing this. Currently, I am working on the last few things that need to be done for the launch: Product page, description writing, pictures, launch...
