ProtaStructure Suite provides you a wide range of solutions to redefine all the stages of your project delivery. This includes modeling, analysis, design, detailing and reporting. In this webinar, you will find special tips and tricks to design and detail RC beams in the most efficient way. Starting from customizing the RC beam design settings, […]
Frame element local coordinate system is defined in two steps. First, it is formed according to default orientation rules and then rotated about local 1-axis according to the rotation angle (if it is specified). Default Orientation of Frame Element Local Coordinate System Local axis 1 of the element is along the element’s axial axis with the […]
Overview Points are the primary snap objects in ProtaSteel. They are used for creating the geometry. Although points are created automatically at grid intersection points and at the ends of each frame element, sometimes it is necessary to create additional points to model complicated geometries. For this, the program provides a number of point creation […]
In Modelling & Detailing, there are several topics to be explain in detail here to allow users to have better understanding regarding the modelling technique and setting up different views/ workplane in ProtaSteel: Creating Points Creating Steel Elements Default Orientation Rules for Frame Elements Fast Point Entry Overview of Coordinate System Workplane Concept Profile Editor Setting […]
Steel Elements In ProtaSteel, you can only create joist, purlin, girt, stair member, plates, eaves beam & sag rods. Main members such as beam, column & brace must be created in ProtaStructure. Each type of element is defined with different command. These commands are accessible from the Steel Ribbon: Place the mouse cursor on the […]

The steps are as follows : Select Profile Type: choose Profile Type, i.e. I, […]
This tab contains information about element type which is a very important parameter used in annotation which can be displayed in graphic editor or engineering drawings, element position and assembly number which may be used by steel detailing software. Descriptions of the controls and items on the tab are given according to the number displayed […]
Model View In most of the situation, default generated views are not sufficient. User may create additional view from different perspective using “Model View" option under View (tab). 3D View User can create a new 3D view directly by selecting " 3D View " command. Once click, a new 3D view will be created. To adjust […]
Geometry tab is used for viewing/modifying the geometrical properties of the frame element such as the cross-sectional dimensions, profile type, orientation parameters or the length of the element (for columns only). Nodal connectivity information and element ID number is also displayed on this tab. Descriptions of the controls and items on the tab are given […]
Fast Entry is a mode of editing which can be enabled when necessary. Fast entry increases the point snap capabilities. When the Fast Entry Mode is enabled, you can snap to virtual snap points that are defined at a distance (as specified in the Fast Entry Details Dialog Box) from the real snap points (grid […]
