My objective is to design the steel support structures, as far as insulators are concern I have already modelled them. However, I am trying to figure out a way by which I can transfer all my forces (dead load, ice load, short circuit load, insulator load, wind load) onto the HSS Column from 6” Aluminum pipe. Can I use insulator as a dummy member? If so, how can I depict that on STAAD. Also will the force be transferred correctly if I use a dummy member for insulator (REFER TO ATTACHED SKETCH).(Please visit the site to view this file)
