Loading

The Loading part is used to enter the design values of the forces acting on the joint connection according to the sign convention:

  • using MatrixFrame® for the 3D structures (3D-Frame), the 3D member forces for 3D object used in the joint connections calculations are:
MatrixFrame® 3D member forces for 3D object

 

  • using MatrixTools® for the 3D structures, the 3D forces as Mx, Mz, Vy are ignored in the Unity Check calculations (that's why these 3D-values are not listed in the interface of loadings):
MatrixTools® 3D forces

 

When the above actions have been performed, automatically is made the calculational analysis, the results of which are represented in the Unity Check table.
