My Happy Ending

Today, was the last day of my internship. It ended with a farewell tea session with my colleagues and supervisor.

Detailing and optimizing

Today, I did detailing for Main Truss A, Main Truss B, Main Truss C, Tie Truss 1, Tie Truss 2, Box Truss 1, Box Truss 2, Box Truss 3, Box Truss 4 and Box Truss 5 by seperating each of it to plan view, elevation view, side view and finally 3 dimension model. The purpose of detailing is to ease draught works.

Optimisation was conducted and lower tie truss requires to reduce in section size, hence, section assigned was changed.

A few senarios were required for the analysis. First senario, one of the support was fixed and the other was free to move. After conducting the analysis it yields huge deflection. Second senario, both of the supports were free to move. After conducting the analysis numerous member failed due to buckling checks, hence, correction was conducted on the particular member that failed.
