&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m trying to get an understanding of a weight discrepancy between my results in STAAD.Pro and my results in STAAD.Offshore. When I run a simple gravity case for a structure in STAAD.Pro, I get a resultant weight as a sum of the y-reactions at my supports.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Comparatively, when I take the same structure with the same supports in STAAD.Offshore, and run an transportation case setting only the heave acceleration at -1g, the resultant sum of the Y direction forces equates to approximately 1.06 times the resultant weight of the STAAD.Pro model. This has been tested with multiple structures and on multiple computers, so from what I can tell, there may be an issue with the software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has anyone else come across this issue? As this will affect the results in all other transportation cases that will be run, I was hoping to sort this out and align the weights prior to finalizing my analysis. I would appreciate any information that anyone could provide on the above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eoghan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
