According to manual of “Decreator”,
1.1.1 Transfer of loads
Loads applied on structural members are directly transferred from finite element nodes to cor-
responding sections of the design element without interpolating at explicit design sections.
What’s the purpose of “Transfer of loads”?
The analysis is done in FEM model, not in “Decreator”, then what’s the purpose for 'Transfer of loads" in it?
As I understand it, this is how it works:
You define a line. Along this line, the internal forces are collected in an imaginary box (transfer of load) in order to obtain a structural line with a course of internal forces. The design is then carried out on this line with the specified cross-section.
Cheers, ecafekin.
Thank you.
According to manual of “Decreator”
The program DECREATOR generates the so called design elements along structural members.
Design elements are independent of a member’s finite element discretization and help define design sections at any chosen position along a structural line. For instance, shear force can be obtained at user-defined sections positioned at offsets from supporting faces of a beam, whether or not nodal results from finite elements are available at these positions.
The internal forces on the section are obtained by “interpolation of the analysed internal actions”.
Then waht’s the point of “Transfer of loads”?
