Cross-frame K Top [SIG]

Location

Girders: Choose the two girders that are connected by the cross frame.

Skew Angle [deg]:

Station [ft]: Enter the station along the PGL.

Sections

Top Chord Section - Bottom Chord Section - Diagonal Chord Section: Assign a section for the top/bottom/diagonal chord, which can be imported from the AISC database by the users. The finite element representation is in the form of a truss.
