Hi all,
For a beam, when I check the internal force by report => sections forces... I get an table with the interal force at 13 sections, but in Beam force detail we can see for 5 section.
Can anybody tell me where we can set these sumber (13/5) before do the analysis? I mean, in some case, we want to reduce the no. of sections calculated internal forces for each beam to safe time, can we do this in staad pro?
To change the detail increments for the reports, go to the Report Setup -> Items tab and change the number of Report Details Inrcements.
To change the amount of sections reported in the post processing tables, go to Results -> Select Load Case -> Range tab and change the number of the Increments.
Please note that this will not have any impact on the analysis speed as it is just a post processor setting.
This method doesn't seem to be working for me. After making the settings changes that you've suggested (setting the increments to 5), the report table that I'm selecting (Report Menu --> Beam Stresses...) is still showing the stresses at 13 increments for each beam.
I am using STAAD.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 6), Version 20.07.11.82.
Is there another setting that I need to change in order to reduce the number of sections shown in a report table?
