What you'll learn

  • How to use the SkyCiv software platform effectively
  • Example: 3D Steel Shed Structure Analysis and Design
  • Structural Engineering workflow commonly used in practice
  • "What's Next?" Look at Steel Connection Design
  • Exposure to Structural Design material that might not be covered in undergraduate study
  • Exposure to steel design code: AISC 360

Course content

1 section • 16 lectures • 1h 37m total length

  • Introduction to the Course2:11
  • Intro and Modeling the Base Structure7:18

    In this lecture we start our structural steel warehouse project and begin modeling the basic geometry

  • Finish Modeling and Adding Supports7:38

    In this lecture we finish up modeling the structure and it's interior members, as well as apply support to the structure based on the stiffness of our structure.

  • Material and Section Application (Part 1)5:42

    Part 1 of 2: Finding our database steel materials, attributing those materials to specific sections that will make up the members of our project.

  • Material and Section Application (Part 2)6:01

    Part 2 of 2: Finding our database steel materials, attributing those materials to specific sections that will make up the members of our project.

  • Determining Self-weight and Live Load2:50

    In this lecture we find out how easy it is to get the self-weight of our structure using Structural 3D. Then we take a look in ASCE 7 to find out the Live Load for our project.

  • Applying the Vertical Loads7:19

    Now that we know our design loads, we want to apply the Dead and Live Loads we took from ASCE 7. We will be using the Area Loads in Structural 3D. Check out the Resources link to learn more about One-Way vs Two-Way loads.

  • Wind Load Generation (MWFRS)8:23

    Using the Wind Load Generator from the SkyCiv suite, we will go through the generation of our wind loads. Check out the Resources to learn more about Wind Load generation.

  • Wind Load Application9:23

    In this lecture we take advantage of the integrated and automatic Wind Load Generator to directly apply our loads to the structure.

  • Load Cases and Combinations5:32
  • First Solve and Results7:59

    In this lecture we will execute our first solve and examine our initial results using the Results window of Structural 3D.

  • Theory: P-Delta and Buckling Analysis3:57

    Paul from the SkyCiv team will give an overview and explain P-Delta vs. Buckling Analysis. Both analysis types are used in our project.

  • Non-Linear Analysis and Reporting6:10

    Using what we learned in Paul's lecture, we take our model through the more advanced analysis cases and examine the difference in results. As a wrap-up, we talk about analysis reporting and its importance in the structural workplace.

  • (Optional) What's Next? Connection Design - Intro and Setup (Part 1)5:53

    In the first "What's Next?" lecture, we dive into the Connection Design module to examine a steel connection from our project. This lecture will give an introduction to the module as well as setup.

  • (Optional) What's Next? Connection Design - Input and 3D Render (Part 2)5:46

    In the second "What's Next?" lecture, we start inputting the required data and take a look at the 3D rendering of the connection we are designing.

  • (Optional) What's Next? Connection Design - Reporting (Part 3)5:25

    In the third "What's Next?" lecture, we run the design checks of the connection and take a look at the Detailed Connection Report that is attached for download.

Requirements

  • Statics/Structural Analysis
  • Interest in Structural Engineering Analysis and Design
  • Chrome or Firefox Browser
  • Familiarity with Steel as a structural building material in the United States

Description

SkyCiv Structural Engineering for Students: Structural Steel will either re-enforce topics you have learned in class or help you grasp new ones that aren't covered. One of the main goals of the course is to use real examples to help you bridge the gap from college coursework to the industry, as well as expose you to topics that aren't usually covered in undergraduate curriculum. If you have never been used structural engineering software, this course will give you a great idea of the ideal workflows used in practice through the use of the SkyCiv platform.

If you want to work alongside the examples in this course as well as the other courses, you can complete the majority of tasks with a SkyCiv Student Account, which you can sign up for directly from the SkyCiv website.

The main component of this course includes walking through the 3D modeling, loading, and analysis of a 3 dimensional warehouse structure, all with the SkyCiv software suite. At the end of the analysis phase of the project, there will be a “What’s Next?” section of lectures that will go through and expose you to steel connection design in accordance with AISC 360 using the Connection Design module. The features used in those lectures are not available with a SkyCiv Student account.
