180 The steel roof, measuring 15 x 8.5 m² with a height of 5.5 m, is part of a 1909 building’s courtyard. It consists of interconnected frames supported by steel beams and a truss beam for roof connection. Challenges included finding a practical solution while verifying the existing profile. Using DWG import, the structure was modeled and analyzed using the steel module for beam verification and optimizing hole size. Dynamic analyses ensured the model’s natural frequencies met wind vibration limits.
