Modeling Steel Structures with ProtaStructure 2022

ProtaStructure provides a wide range of easy-to-use tools for modelling steel and RC members. Under the "Modelling" tab  of the RIBBON menu, you'll find various commands to model both concrete and steel members. In this webinar, the ones for the steel members are explained in detail. Also, this webinar provides you with a step-by-step demonstration of how to model a steel structure with ProtaStructure. The scope this recording includes the modelling of steel domes, curved frames, claddings, and more. Additionally, by watching this video you can learn how to work with steel truss systems, user-defined loading cases, section design of steel members, and how to export models to ProtaSteel for connection design.

You can explore all the capabilities of ProtaStructure for structural modelling in the articles published on this platform.
