In this video, you will learn about the required steps to assign non-linear vertical temperature profiles to beam elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workflow includes two steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you can create a non-linear vertical temperature profile only for user-defined cross-sections and not for the standard cross-sections in the SOFiSTiK library.
And second, you will have to assign temperature values in cross-section points. Those points can be either stress points or geometry points. Import to remember, that you name them properly, as you will need that information later when defining the temperature values in SOFiLOAD.
Furthermore, in case you have several structural lines with different cross-sections, it is necessary to create the same points in all of the used cross-sections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the cross-section points are placed in the cross-section, it is time to assign the temperature values. Therefore, use the programme module SOFiLOAD. Once the temperature is assigned to the reference point it will be applied for the entire width of the cross-section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that’s left, is running the linear analysis to get results<\/p>\n\n\n\n
