Design Check for a Mixed Mesh Assembly

You perform a design check of an assembly of four components: the roof (sheet metal), columns (surface), beams, and vertical panels (sheet metal). You apply snow load on the roof and a wind load on the vertical panel. The assembly is meshed with a combination of shell and beam elements.

In this tutorial, you:
  • Apply pressure loads to the roof and a vertical panel.
  • Perform a design check for a mixed mesh assembly.
  • Examine ways to improve the factor of safety.
