I have not signed in for 7 days and my licensed staad pro advanced EXPIRED. Why is that? User: ABRAHAM JR TUNA; ajrtuna80@gmail.com
This revision is still not addressed the major problem: beam-plate and plate-plate connectivity in STAAD Analytical when creating model with plates in STAAD Physical, especially if the layout is skewed. And this problem still halts STAAD physical to be non-practical for usage when working with plates.
If you are experiencing a license issue, please can you log a help ticket and the user support team can assist you.
There has been a lot of development in the physical workflow to optimise connectivity between various components and providing an optimised solution which can be understandably complex at different boundaries. There are a number of techniques that can be used which may help including setting the default mesh dimension. It may be that the default settings may not be appropriate for your model. From the Data ribbon Select Options and the Analysis Options. Perhaps try a smaller setting for the 'Maximum allowed distance between nodes'. If there is a particularly complex section in your model, you might look into the Spreadsheet ribbon>Surface Properties and set a smaller value on one or more surfaces where you are experiencing an issue. If you still are having an issue, then I would suggest logging a help ticket and the user success team can assist you.
The ticket # 7001230933 was already issued 2/4/21 and in update at 4/6/21 it was admitted that the issues still persists. Also before issuing the ticket mesh options were already tried in numerous manner along with other approaches.
This issue was reported regularly starting from the 1st STAAD Connect Edition, and from 1st to latest Editions it's getting better. But practically it works more or less reliable for very regular shapes and not for complex shapes unfortunately.
Also panel loading in STAAD physical works only of you creating panels one by one. If you have even for small size building more than fifty panels per floor level, to create them, then assigning the loading edges, and then redistribute the pressure loads will be extremely tedious and time consuming task. In RAM Elements similar task was resolved long ago with creating multiple panels options and assigning load distribution in skewed angle. Please see the ticket #7001230938. I also post this issue in "IDEAS".
