To have the program automatically detect and form
physical members within a selected set of members, use the following procedure.
-
Select a set of beams that you want formed into physical members.
-
Either:
on
the
Geometry ribbon tab, select the
AutoForm Member tool in the
Physical Members group (Analytical Modeling
workflow)
or
on
the
Member Design ribbon tab, select the
AutoForm Member tool in the
Physical Members group (Steel Design
workflow)
The program applies
the rules of forming physical members to detect which members should be grouped
to a single physical member.
