Dear friends,
i got the problem while using staad.pro V8i.while designing the concrete using indian code i got an error message "Copy protection device system does not support Indian(concrete)design code.The design will not be performed."Please someone help me to fix this problem.It is urgent for me.
Thanks in advance.
If you are using one of the recent versions of STAAD.Pro such as STAAD.Pro V8i or STAAD.Pro 2007, make sure that you switch on the box next to Indian codes on the opening screen of the program. Once you switch it on, there should be a green circle adjacent to that box. If you see a red circle instead, it means you either do not have a license, or it is checked out by somebody else in your company.
dear SKLose
thank u very much for ur attention.on thing i want to ask is it is ok if we design cantilever slab intergal with building?
Dear SKLose
I am refering to design.I want to know whether staad alone can design cantilever slab/beam.I am new to staad and do not know RAM concept.I will learn it soon.
Best Regards
With STAAD.Pro, you can design only individual elements per the Indian code. The program will tell you the area of steel required at top and bottom sides in the local X and Y directions for the MX and MY moments only. But it cannot do a full scale design of the slab (bar arrangement, shear design, punching shear check, etc.) per the Indian code.
However, STAAD can do a rudimentary slab design per the BS5950 code in the Concrete Design mode.
STAAD can design concrete beams and columns per the Indian code. You need to specify the DESIGN BEAM and DESIGN COLUMN commands through the GUI or the editor. Take a look at example problem 8 in the sprov8i\staad\examp\ind folder. Or refer to the American or British example 8 in the Help-Contents-Application Examples page.
Dear SKLose,
I don't find the way to remove the load on particular beam once we had assigned.please tell me how can I edit load on particular beam.
urs faithfully
indian code is not supported for desinging
Hi,
Can you elaborate your query? If there is any error or warning message, mention that. Also mention the build number of STAAD.Pro that you are using.(Go to Help > About STAAD.Pro)
