Abstract:This paper addresses a linear elastic methodology for analysis of thin‐walled steel frames. The analysis is based on structural meaningful displacement modes that considerably reduce the number of degrees of freedom needed compared to a similar analysis using shell finite elements. The methodology allows the use of an adequate reduced number of higher order displacement modes. The methodology uses advanced beam elements to model the major structural elements within the frame and advanced joint elements to mode… Show more
