Example 2 (Steel Frame Structure Modeling)
According to STAAD-Pro V8i software, sketch the idealization of Steel
frame structure with truss roof (inclined angle sections only) shown below

Edit the modeling commands of steel frame structure, where steel member
section as follows:
1. Frame columns W6X15
2. Truss frame (vertical C8X13)
3. Horizontal in x and z direction W8X21at level y = 6m)
4. Horizontal in z direction double C10X30 at level y = 7m and y =8m)
5. External inclined double angle L3X2X3/16)
6. Internal inclined angle L2.5X2X3/8)
