Connect the beams to support a vertical tank


I am designing a silo in Acad 3d and I have not been able to import full Staad Pro, the tank does not attach.
as I draw in Staad pro tank and attach it to the support beams?, I do not see the option of drawing that permits me to do.

In the wizard model is a cylinder frame, but not left beams attach to the body, so I want draw the tank on the body
of nodes, but as I do?

How to connect the beams to support a vertical tank

I work with Staad Pro V8i

thank you,

  • Alexander,

    If I understand correctly, you have successfully imported the steel framing that supports the tank, and you know that you will use the Structure Wizard to generate the mesh of plates to represent the tank. 

    So the last step is to merge the prototype from Structure Wizard into STAAD.Pro.  When you do this, you will be given the option to specify the insertion point of the tank.  You will need to specify a location that coordinates it with the steel framing that you have already modeled.

    Check your connectivities at that time, to be sure things are connected precisely, and you should be all set.

    Cheers,

    Chris
