UPN Chassis Resistance Calculation

Simulation
1

Hello everyone ,

I am designing a 220 UPN walkway, there is a load of 700 KG/m2, the end of the walkway is cantilevered for a length of about 1500 mm, the floor is a concrete slab

I am using the simulation module for the first time and I don't know which mode used to represent a uniformly distributed load you have to use Force / Distributed Mass / Load - Remote Mass ... I have to select all my profiles?

I am attaching the file

Hello

We must use distributed mass.

All the support points under the posts must be defined if they are only fixed to the ground. (please specify) and are the posts fixed elsewhere for example the back ones on a wall.

Once the fixed points have been defined, you must select the top of your four UPNs for the distributed mass.

All volumes must be defined as interdependent.

Do not use  beam but volume mode for all objects.

Kind regards
