Please see the answers here below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
0. There is no group ABD in the model - hence the issue with loading. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. 2. See Technical Reference Help chapter 2.5.9 and the chapters I&amp;#39;ve reverenced in previous Forum thread (it&amp;#39;s a good point to keep the conversation within one thread if it is related to the same query).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. 4. CMP  - Composite action with connectors&lt;br /&gt;
0 = design as non-composite beam&lt;br /&gt;
1 = design as a composite beam if the slab is in bending compression throughout the span, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
design as a non-composite beam if the slab is in tension anywhere along the span&lt;br /&gt;
2 = design as a composite beam only. Ignore moments which cause tension in the slab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. 6. There&amp;#39;s no issue with assigning 25 MPa concrete strength - I&amp;#39;m utilizing STAAD.Pro 2007.11.82. The number of studs is reported in Design tab.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
