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, I have taken it a bit slower on Structural Basics the last 3-4 weeks, because I am super busy at my full-time job right now, working many extra hours. My first triathlon Ironman 70.3 Zell am See is only 2 weeks out. So I also spent many hours training each week to get the kilometers in. And then there was also Festwoche happening which is a beer festival like Oktoberfest in my hometown Kempten. It's great. I go to the festival every year, because you meet many people you haven't...
Hi friends, Today, we’ll look at the bending design verification of timber. Bending Verification of Timber According to Eurocode 5 Bending in timber elements happens for example in every beam that is exposed to line or point loads like rafters, purlins and other beams. The strength of timber for bending is quite good. And the strength types are actually named after the bending strength. Structural wood C24 has a characteristic bending strength of 24 MPa and glulam GL28h 28MPa. So today, I am...
Hi friends, Today, we’ll look at the design verification compression parallel to the grain. But before, a little update. Honest update I wanted to use a few paragraphs and share with you what I have been working on the last couple of months and weeks and how I have been feeling. 9 months ago I moved from Copenhagen to Munich and if you are interested to know what I have been up to at my job since then, I published a LinkedIn post about this on Monday which you can read here. Lately, I have...
