There are some .upt files associated with this file. Please send them.

The sequential order of input file is not right. I have edited your file and now it is running good. But, I have noticed that you have used different sets of units all over places. I would request you to review all the units once again in editor file to make sure all are as expected. Please keep the STAAD and .upt in a same folder to run the attached file.

There was no material assignment. Columns from 4.1m to 21.1m were missing properties. I assigned a 0.2m dia circular section to those. There was no loading. I added one load case with selfweight. There was no analysis command either which has now been added. Modified file attached for reference. 5 Storey Plan_rev.std

The file that I sent you should run without any errors, see screenshot below. If you are running an older version of STAAD.Pro, make sure that you upgrade to STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition ver 22.05.00.131

For the steel W sections there are gaps in the name. You should delete the gaps so that they look like below. 
 MEMBER PROPERTY AMERICAN 2 9 25 26 28 34 44 TO 46 48 54 121 124 TO 129 133 TO 143 187 TO 190 - 193 TO 199 201 211 823 2255 2534 TABLE ST W21x275 15 16 29 TO 31 33 35 37 49 TO 51 53 55 57 148 206 214 215 821 822 1279 1281 - 1282 TO 1287 1408 1409 1722 2043 TABLE ST W21x223 
 17 TO 24 38 TO 43 58 TO 63 TABLE ST TUB40205 
 
 Regarding TUB40205, I could not find any such property in american database. can you please tell me from where you have taken this one. If you are editing in editor file, i would request you to assign property graphically to solve the issue.

Hello, 
 As communicated earlier I have modified the file. As American tube profile is not available I have used British profule of size 40405.0. Please see the attached file which runs okay in my system.
