  1. Should the static (gravity) loads in the STAAD Pro Load Combinations be Excluded when Analyzing for Transportation Cases
  2. Can we specify Marine Growth above the Still Water Level in STAAD.Offshore?
  3. When I generate the STAAD file with wave loads using the STAAD.Offshore module, the file throws up errors while opening in STAAD.Pro and the Wave Load Cases are messed up.
  4. I have specified the added mass coefficient and the drag coefficient as zero. However, STAAD is still generating Wave Loads in the Vertical direction.
  5. When I try to open my staad.pro model in offshore, I receive the error: “Structure file has syntax errors. check the <filename>.err file for reasons”. What is the cause of this error ?
  6. I added a section to the STAAD.Pro section database and used it in my model. Now I am trying to open the STAAD.Pro model in STAAD.Offshore and I am getting error messages saying “structure file has syntax errors”. How do I get Offshore to recognize my defined sections ?
  7. Type PIPE/TUBE/OPEN/PRISMATIC Cannot be Established for Some Members
  8. Is it possible to specify the heave + roll and heave –roll in the same load case?
  9. Joint Lumped Inertia Force System vs Member Distributed Inertia Force System
  10. Trap Load Beyond its Length. Full Length Assumed
  11. [[Flooded Member and Appurtenance Member Properties]]
  12. [[Water Density Specification]]
  13. [[Wave loads generated in STAAD.Offshore are off by 1000]]
  14. [[Creating a New/Open an existing STAAD.Offshore file]]
  15. [[STAAD Offshore - Base Units]]
