Step by step 2D steel portal frame: 1. Creating the model using the Graphical user interface 1.1.

Model geometry a. add beam b. a snap node/beam - linear - create *linear = buat grid kotak2 *radial = grid berbentuk lingkaran, seperti jaring laba2 . *irregular = buat grid acak fungsi dari grid ini adalah membentuk bidang kerja kita. besar g eometri model. tapi tidak membatasi model kita secara keseluruhan. c. buat koordinat point/joint/node. 1.2 Switching on node and beam labels node and beam number. View-Structure Diagrams-Labels. 1.3 Specifying member properties a. to define member properties, -Property page b. Section Database, use to define properties such as W Shape AISC. c. don't forget to check material box. Add. d. asociate the properties we just created with selected members in mode l. 1.4 Specifying material constant a. Commands-Material Constants, untuk memberikan konstanta2 pada member yang telah diberi properti. Konstanta2 tersebut berupa Modulus Elastisitas (E), Poisson's Ra tio, Density, Alpha. 1.5 Changing the input units length digunakan untuk mempermudah dalam hal penginputan data. 1.6 Specifying member offsets. comments-member spesifications-offset 1.7 Printing member information in the output file a. Select-By All-All beams b. Commands-Pre Analysis Print-Member Information 1.8 Specifying Supports a. Support page-Create b. Type of support. No Support (free), Fixed, Pinned, Tension, etc. c. Assign at selected node. 1.9 Viewing the model in 3D. a. View-Structure Diagrams b. or right click-Structure Diagrams 1.10 Specifying Loads a. Creating Load Case 1. General-Load Page, d toolbar jg ada. 2. Check input units 3. Add new Load Case-highlight Load Case Details-Add *Jika ini adalah pembebanan tunggal maka pilih Primary *Jika beban berupa kondisi beban kombinasi maka pilih Define Com binations 4. untuk mendefinisikan beban Highlight (_Load nya_) - Add -silakan definisikan beban sesuai dengan dftar. diantaranya Selfweight, Nodal Load, Member Load, Area Lo ad, Seismic, dll 5. Assign to member
