Analysis of a selected node of a truss made of cold-rolled sections based on the finite element method

The study presents a comparative analysis of displacements and reduced stresses that occur in the selected node of a truss made of cold-rolled sections. Computations were based on the finite element method using the Autodesk ROBOT Structural Analysis and ANSYS Academic Research Mechanical software. Analysis of the status of the selected node was performed for permanent and variable loads.
