The SCIA engineering software allows to realize the final reviews of the design the supporting structure according to the relevant technical standards contained in the library program for various types of materials, but especially for steel and concrete. This applies in particular for technical standard STN EN 1993-1-(1-12) Eurocode 3 - Design of Steel Structures. Based on the preliminary results of the SCIA software is created geometric model of portal structure in SolidWorks software. This model is then subjected to static analysis performed by FEM and at the same time is subjected to analysis of price. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajme/1/7/39/ajme-1-7-39.pdf portal supporting structurerobotic armstechnical standardstructural elementdesign optionsunity review
