I appreciate that you made these videos, scia especially the older version in work with isn't that beginner friendly.these videos may not have tens of thousands of views but they are vital for so many fledgling engineers. Cheers.
Another great tutorial, thank you. As the beginner user of SCIA I have learned a lot from them. May I ask a question concerning the load distribution - I have noticed, that FEM method is nessesary if we want to implement a projected load which is not uniformly (f.e. snow bag on the roof). With the standard distribution type, the load is not beeing applied to 1D members. Am I right?
Yes. You are right. The tributary area method has some limitations (no curved boundary, Free point and line load, also no variable free surface load). So it is described in the Help. But for such cases, there is the FEM Method.
Yes. Put the load panels on different layers. Each layer can have different colour. Then start command "View settings for all entities", on the TAB: "Structure" there is "Style + Colour". Change the value to "colour by layers"
@@SkilledLT All questions regarding visibility are in the menu "View\Visibility". For example, you can select all panels and use "Hide selected". Or you can put all panels on one layer and turn this layer off.
