Hi, when we look at the IPE270 roof beams, which are loaded between 5 meters of axles and have a span of 20 meters, from the model, although there is a light coating of a single layer of sheet metal such as 4 kg / m², they seem a little weak if guceler is not applied in the column joints. Then, by defining the same loads, the same system configuration, the same design parameters, and of course, the unsupported lengths and the effective lengths of the bars, which are the most important ones, in SAP2000, very close results are obtained with ideStatik when looking at a no-intermediate frame with the highest load (Attached "sap2000- control.jpg"
. The steel material quality used in the project and application may be higher than the S235 selected in ideStatik. As you know, IPE and HEA profiles are now offered to the market in minimum S275 quality. Or, gusset may have been applied to the beams at the junction with the column. These can be controlled. In general, the definition of unsupported lengths and effective lengths of the bars within the design parameters in analysis models can be skipped assuming that this is done automatically in many other analysis software, or it cannot be checked if there are assigned values. If the definition of unsupported sizes and effective sizes is not done correctly in the software, the design results may also be incomplete/wrong. For example: in this model, in the roof beam system, which consists of two bar segments in a frame, each bar must have an unsupported length of approximately "2" in case of major bending, ie twice the length of the bar (distance between the two columns). The user has to check whether this value is assigned for the relevant bar elements in the design parameters or enter it himself, and many software do not do this automatically! In ideStatik Çelik software, this process is performed correctly by the program, almost 99% of the time, which requires user intervention only in very complex beam placement situations. These can be examined in the model entered in the other program. In addition, the total height of the middle floor from the steel top was defined as 15cm (10cm+5cm) and this value may have been made 10cm in total for a simple intermediate floor in practice. The height defined as "Slab Thickness" under geometry in the slab general settings in ideStatik is the thickness of only the continuous slab of the slab. The value you write to this value and the "Tread Depth" value are added to obtain the total floor height over the steel. It should be checked whether these values are defined correctly for the intermediate in the model (Attached "doseme-settings.jpg"
. It would be correct to select the "Semi-rigid diaphragm" option in the analysis settings for all steel structures, especially in industrial structures with intermediate or intermediate floors in a certain region (Attached "analysis-settings.jpg"
