Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out what section this is based of this input snippet. I am unable to find the section for Prop 4 and 5.

Thanks in advance!

Changing orientation of beam

Angel Castro — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 13:42:15 GMT

Hello there,

I am trying to change the orientation of my top and bottom chords for a truss model from the major axis to minor axis. I found multiple ways of doing it from other sources but not sure which is the best way to do so. Also when I did try to rotate it and opened the 3D rendering the 3D model does not show the updated beam rotation. It still shows the beams along the major axis, will the 3D rendering not show the new beam orientation?

Thanks in advance!

Applying an internal hinge on beam.

Hi there,

I am modeling a 3 span continuous beam in Staad Pro and I need to add an internal hinge at the middle of each beam. I know I have to cut the beam at that location and apply member releases to simulate the internal hinge. What boxes do I need to check off in the member release dialog to accurately apply the internal hinge.

Thanks

How to Model Beam Members in Staad Truss

Angel Castro — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 14:56:51 GMT

Hi there,

I have a simply supported steel truss model in staad pro CE in "STAAD TRUSS", see Command File Line 1. I would like to model the top and bottom chords as beam members, but I get many warnings and errors. What is the best way to do this. I am also planning on replicating this truss to create a 3D model with a width span of 210 feet, 7 bays along the width. Once I create the 3D model I would also like to connect the trusses with beam members along the top and bottom chord members, any thoughts on how to model the beam members in 3D.

Thanks in advance!

Question regarding StaadPro CE file

Angel Castro — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 20:25:04 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am modeling a steel joists truss in Staad pro CE but I am having trouble on how to resolve the warnings and errors. I have a double angle for the top chord and custom section properties for the bottom chord since staad did not have the section I was looking for. I modeled the diagonal members as steel pipes. The truss is simply supported, pin and roller. I am getting many instability warnings. Any way I could reduce these warnings. I know I cant resolve all of them. I also added a spec, "MEMBER TRUSS" for all members, by adding the MEMBER TRUSS spec, does that eliminate the need to release the members for moment?

I have attached the model to this discussion.
