Re: 'Y' and 'Y Only' commands

Kris Sathia

If X or Y or Z is specified for direction, then, a) a spring support is generated in that direction b) the other two translational directions are fully restrained c) the associated rotational degree of freedom is fully restrained d…

Re: 'Y' and 'Y Only' commands

NIHESH.N

The ELASTIC MAT and PLATE MAT are just 2 different methods to determine the influence area of a node where a spring support needs to be generated. While the former uses the arrangement of nodes in the supported region as the basis for this determination…

Re: COMPRESSION SPRINGS, MEMBER COMPRESSION and CHANGE Commands

Kris Sathia

This is the answer to Randy's observation that the rule regarding the number of DOF's before and after the change seems arbitrary. The reason is the following. When the number of active degrees of freedom (dofs) following the CHANGE command is less…

Re: COMPRESSION SPRINGS, MEMBER COMPRESSION and CHANGE Commands

Sye

Enforced supports are internally considered as very stiff springs by STAAD.Pro. So when you specify it as enforced, there are additional active dofs for the first analysis compared to the second one with FIXED support, which is making it work. You may…

RE: Create section database

Sye

The only way to add a database is to follow the instructions provided in the wiki which Modestas has referred to. You have to copy an existing mdb file to begin with. You cannot add any new tables to the database. You can only open the existing tables…

RE: Defining General Section

Sye

By default, the program calculates buckling factor for all primary/REPEAT LOAD cases but you can insert a PERFORM ANALYSIS & CHANGE after the cases for which you do not need to carry out buckling analysis. After the CHANGE, specify the loads for which…

Re: Staad question: difference between surface element, plate element, and shell element?

Kris Sathia

Bruce Chen, Plate element versus shell element Both terms represent the same thing in the STAAD context, which is, a 3-noded (triangular) or a 4-noded (quadrilateral) element to which a thickness has to be assigned as a property. This is commonly…
