How do you import MSTower ancilliary library files to the new version of STAAD(X).TOWER?

Thomas Somers — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:11:15 GMT

I am delighted to have downloaded the latest version of STAAD(X).TOWER. I am a first time user moving from MSTower and I am looking forward to trying out this new tool.

I have had partial success converting an MSTower file. The tower is modelling no problem but the ancillaries are not, except for 3 RRU's. I assume these items happen to be in the STAAD(X).TOWER appurtenances libraries. I have two questions:

1. Can you import MStower .lib files into STAAD(X).TOWER, if so how?

2. Can you edit and add to the appurtenance libraries in STAAD(X).TOWER, if so how?

I am a first time user of STAAD(X).Tower and I can't seem to create a simple tower using the wizard without getting the following errors:

1. "0 degrees is not a valid orientation", followed by

2. "Failed to Initialize Section"

I have attached screen shots of the errors and the data I have entered for each step of the wizard. Can someone please help point out what I might be doing wrong.

Is there a user guide, example files or tutorials available for recently released STAAD(X).Tower Connect edition? I have checked the Wiki and help files without success.

Has the planned STAAD(X).Tower Eurocode development been released? I had been advised it was due end of April. If not when will this be realistically released?

After being disappointed to see 4 forecast delivery dates missed since December '17 I am really hoping STAAD(X).Tower is finally released. If not I am eager to receive a realistic and achievable delivery forecast from Bentley.

Does anyone know if there is a change record for MSTower?

I am interested in knowing the changes made to MSTower for each new version released with any description of impacts changes may have to results from prior versions and any important information the user may need to factor when creating future models.
