Plate defect in beam-beam face plate composition

[doruk2292]

Hello, I just started using the İdecad steel program. I am modeling a wedding hall with a span of 20 meters. I created a steel roof using ipe beam profiles instead of using scissors, but when I connect the beams to each other with steel compositions, I get a plate thickness error after the analysis. For example, thicknesses of 20-30 mm do not save. When I examine the analysis, I see that I should use 90-100 mm plates. I thought I made a mistake in modelling. Then I examined your sample industrial structure project and the results are the same for you. I would be very grateful if you could provide information on this subject. I wish you good work.

Hello Mr. Doruk; As you can see in the attached images, there may be several reasons. First of all, if the ductility level of our Earthquake Code is chosen high, it remains too safe and creates higher results for joints than other regulations. For this reason, use normal ductility level and R=5 in such structures. A situation like you mentioned is not seen in the industrial structure, which is our demo project. Be sure of the material description. Define S235 for the plate material from the design inputs section in the menu of the combination, if it is still considered insufficient, define S275 and check again. Good work.
