Solving a Truss Analysis Assignment - Choose the Suitable Beam

[azizzeuos]

hello guys i ahve assigment , this assigment talk about the truss analysis

the assigment is 3 parts
first part : analysis the framework & show the tension & compression , i used method if sections , i have done this part.

second part : analysis by using STRAND7 & choose the suitable beam from the library of materials & sections

my porblem het i can't get the analysis from STRAND7 without the beam type

my question is how can i choose the sutibale beam ( i have maybe 500 beam type which one is sutibale for my framework )


you will see in the attachment the assigment & the firstpart answer

please guys i need help .

The best way to find the right beam type for your framework is to consult the STRAND7 library of materials and sections. This library contains detailed information on a wide range of beams and other structural components, including size, shape, strength, and other important factors. You can also use the library to compare different types of beams and determine which one would be the best fit for your framework. Additionally, STRAND7 has a number of tools and features that can help you determine the most suitable beam type for your project. For example, you can use the interactive 3D modelling feature to visualize how different beams would look in your framework and make sure that the design is aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the software also allows you to simulate different scenarios to see how the structure would react under different loads and conditions.
