Projectwise- Creating STAAD files in Projectwise

You should start the new model in STAAD.Pro. Subsequently you can save the file to the Projectwise server. For details of the process, from within STAAD.Pro application, please go to the Help > Content and take a look at the following section.

I'm also trying to do ProjectWise with STAAD (I had a computer scare last night, and our IT department got me back working this morning). One of the issues I'm having is that the result files don't seem to integrate. I've got a model with surfaces for shear walls and a large number of load cases, so running the analysis takes about 3 hours. If I were to have to re-run the model every time I check out the file, it would severely limit the usefulness of running off of PW.

I've attempted to upload the .std file and all result files, and opening the .std file only results in my computer downloading the .std file (Post-processing tab grayed out). I've also tried to save a stripped down model file to PW, run the analysis, and check the file back in. It has the same result, where only the .std file gets touched and the result files are left on my local drive. Is there something I'm doing wrong or a switch I need to twiddle?

As of now, only the .std file can be saved in a ProjectWise repository or retrieved from it. We are working on having better integration with ProjectWise in future versions on STAAD.Pro so that all analysis results can be saved too and you do not need to reanalyze to get the results.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll just have to back everything up onto ProjectWise manually, but at least I can stop bashing my head against the wall trying to make it fully integrated like MicroStation.

Hi Sye,

Is there any update on this?.

Or the process is still same?
