Space Trusses

Space trusses are
three-dimensional counterparts of planar trusses. They consist of straight
members connected at their ends. These members can be made of steel, aluminum,
or other materials. The joints in space trusses are typically ball-and-socket
joints, allowing rotational freedom. This flexibility enables the truss to accommodate
various load conditions.

ProtaStructure 2025& later versions,  comes with a Space Truss Macro, which enables you to specify a region and
insert a space truss parametrically. You can control parameters, such as cell
size, number of rows and columns, curvature and more.

In the attached
document, you will find all the details about how to insert a space truss,
framing type, how to change profiles, how to apply loads on space trusses, and
more.
