More than one boundary per Mat job. Bug captured.

Can I create a mat job for two separate boundaries in the same file. This is similar to the question above but in this case it's the same job used more than once?

Right now after many trials the answer to the above is no, unless I'm missing something.

Now regarding the bug, is there anyone else having a hard time generating moment envelope? The Envelope generation panes seems to not work except for the "By drawing a line on slab" option.

Another issue, is that the columns orientation upon exporting from STAAD are not maintained correctly.Try defining a column property in STAAD with YD<ZD and do the export, bug generated and can be seen in the calculation report and the general arrangement drawing. I attempted to manually switch the dimensions of the affected column in the column dimensions pane, now the calculation report looks fine but the GA Drawing is still affected. I experienced this bug during a combined footing job, don't know if the same bug will show up in other job types.

    It is advisable to have only one boundary per mat foundation job. You may create as many control regions as needed within the boundary. If you need to have more than one boundaries as part of the same file, create separate mat foundation jobs for each.

    Most of the issues with Moment Envelope Generation has been sorted out in the newly released STAAD Foundation Advanced version 08.00.01.33. So if you are using an older version, I would suggest that you get the new version. If you still run into issues, please upload your model ( zipped ) and we will take a look.

    I remember the column orientation being an issue in earlier versions of the product but it should not be an issue in more recent versions. I checked with version 08.00.01.33 and all column orientation are read correctly when imported from STAAD.Pro. I even tried including some beta 90 as well in the STAAD.Pro model and it seems to come into STAAD Foundation Advanced correctly. The drawings however are still not sensitive to the column orientations and need to be corrected. I will talk to our developers about it.

    I submitted a ticket with the issue with the STAAD and STAAD Foundation files along with screenshots. Ticket #7000601649. (STAAD Foundation version 8.0.1.33 used and STAAD.Pro 20.07.11.50)

    For the sake of members knowledge, the argument in the ticket is as follows:

    IMAGE#1: This is a combined footing job, please see the Detail drawing output. The axis in the elevation view is incorrect, should be Y vertical and Z horizontal.

    IMAGE#2 and #3: This is a strap footing job, please see the detail drawing output. The axis in the plan view is incorrect, should be Z horizontally and X vertically.

    I noticed the above in the combined and strap footing jobs, I did not test other job types.

     

    Please also note that exporting the supports from STAAD.Pro to STAAD foundation results in inconsistent columns orientation. See the columns supported by nodes 22 and 24 in STAAD.Pro, then check how these are oriented in STAAD Foundation calculation sheet, GA Drawing and Detail drawing. After that try to manually swapping the column width and column length from the Main Navigator > Foundation Plan > Column Dimension, then again see how the swapping are reflected in the calculation sheet, GA Drawing and Detail drawing.

     

    The above is a concern not just visually, but it's a concern with respect to the background calculations, perhaps the reactions are taken in wrong orientations too. Additionally, this is visually frustrating and inconvenient an doubting for clients.

     

    There is also a question I have. In a strap footing job, how can I define that one of the footings has it's column at the edge?

     

    Attached are the STAAD.Pro  and the STAAD Foundation files I used.
