1Q. Perform Form-finding and structural analysis structure of multiple masts.
Answer:
Aim:
Conduct form-finding and structural analysis on various mast structures.
Procedure:
- Launch the RFEM program and enter the necessary parameters.
- Change the units to metric.
- Select the option for Form Finding.
- Place the nodes in the appropriate places.
- Use nodes to join the lines.
- Assign the Supports Nodal
- Give each line a cable material assignment.
- Use quadrangle surfaces to assign the membrane's surface.
- Put the substance on the surface.
- Name the qualities of the othotropic membrane.
- Put 0.8 KN/sq.mm of prestress on both the connecting and conical surfaces.
- Each surface's local axes should be changed.
- Apply Triangular Mesh Support Reactions after navigating to the FE mesh settings.
