Inactive member command - GUI input

Dear Admin,

What is the way (in steps) to issue "inactive member command" through GUI not through STAAD(text) editor?

e.g. I have geometry defined and 3 load case. i want to have for each load  case different member to be inactive. what are the steps?

Best Regards,

  • Dear Sye,

    Still I don't know how to have the order in issued command. All inactive sets will come on the top of command list and change and perform analysis at the end. How to insert them between Load cases, but from graphical input(GUI)?

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Ivan,

    Sye clearly mentioned in his answer that "If you have to define different set of inactive member specification for different load cases, you have to use the text editor". So, Text Editor is the only way.

  • Hello sye,

    i have used text editor and placed all my inactive members for different load cases accordingly followed by perform analysis and change command. I was not able to perform analysis. There is some error mentioning  *** ERROR *** ABOVE COMMAND IS NOT RECOGNIZED. LINE IGNORED.

    Thank you.
