    Description

    This webinar provides a practical overview of the structural design and analysis of solar panel support systems. It covers common support configurations, load paths, and the calculation of wind loads according to Eurocode requirements, including uplift, drag, and lateral forces acting on solar structures.

     

    The session also compares cold-formed and hot-rolled steel sections and explains key design considerations such as local, distortional, and flexural buckling. A practical demonstration in MIDAS GEN NX shows how to build the structural model, define sections and properties, apply relevant design parameters, and evaluate structural behaviour and design results.

    Key Points

    Wind Load Assessment for Solar Structures: Understand how wind actions are determined and transferred through solar panel support systems, from panels and rails to the supporting structure and foundations.

    Steel Section Selection and Design Checks: Learn the key differences between cold-formed and hot-rolled sections and how buckling behavior and EN 1993 requirements influence structural design.

    Practical Structural Modelling in GEN NX: See how a solar support structure can be modelled and analyzed in MIDAS GEN NX, including geometry creation, section definition, structural analysis, and interpretation of design results.
