A Design example of industrial steel structure with XCFEM

This is a structure with a span of 24 m for each frame, 72 m overall, modeling with non-prismitic elements. for this, I divide columns and rafter with smaller pieces and assign IShape section to each piece.

view FEM model and Run analysis

For viewing FEM analysis run:

python xc_model.py

For run complete analysis with all loads and combinations, execute:

python xc_run_uls_checking

And for view the result, execute:

python xc_display_uls_checking
