PERFORM ROTATION COMAND

Hello,

I would like answer your if you know how can aplpy "PERFORM ROTATION" command on std text file to a part of a model

For example with option REPEAT ALL for nodes or beams, repeat since the last REPEAT ALL or REPEAT ALL 0 , Is there anything similar for "PERFORM ROTATION"

Regards

  • you can create the model in STAAD.Pro with vertical Y axis and use the command PERFORM ROTATION X -90 to modify the model to the same condition (using SET Z UP). You need to specify the PERFORM ROTATION command after all the member incidences have been defined as:

    PERFORM ROTATION X -90

    You can follow the procedure mentioned below:

    Go to the Edit menu, and choose Edit Input Command File.

    1) Locate the line which says SET Z UP. Remove that line, or, put an asterisk in the first column of that line.

    2) After all the member incidences have been defined, add the following command,

    PERFORM ROTATION X -90



  • Hello again,

    I think that I don`t explain correctly

    I want to repeat the same geometry but with a displacement and a rotation with text editor

    (sweep of geometry for example a circular o rectangular section)

    I want generate the first geometry and make the same geometry in other place and rotated

    I know that I can REPEAT / REPEAT ALL option to make a linear sweep but not for different orientations

    Other option is use the JORIG for the displacement to generate a new geometry in other place, and use the option PERFORM ROTATION for make the rotations

    The problem is that PERFORM ROTATION applies to all defined nodes and I would like to apply to some nodes

    Any idea ??

    Regards
  • The PERFORM ROTATION would apply to all joints. For your case I think using the GUI tools would be more appropriate. First to translate, you can select the entire structure, right click and choose Move to specify the distances by which the model needs to be translated along X, Y or Z. Subsequently you can select part of the structure that you would like to rotate and then go to the top menu and choose Geometry > Rotate. You need to define the angle and the axis of rotation.
