Hello Sir, I just want to know what's the exact solution on my problem
Procedure Followed:
1)Created Line plan reference nodes in Staad Pro
2)Created Quadrilateral Plates for each room in Staad Pro
3)Created Quadrilateral Meshing for each room in Staad Pro
4)Created 2D Line Plan with members in Staad Pro and merged short lengths (<1m)
5)Created 3D Building model by translation repeat for beams and plates in Staad Pro
6)Aplied material properties (size and shape) in Staad Pro
7)Applied Load Definitions (SL,WL) and Load Cases with Load Combinations
8)Added Storey Drift in Analysis Post print
9)Added 'All' Perform Analysis
10)Performed Run Analysis
11)Now After successful Analysis, Imported Staad Pro file in Staad RCDC for slab design
12)By default Some slabs are created but some slabs are not created
13)I just want to know what is the problem in that
Hi Kuldeepak Marde ,
STAAD RCDC does not import the plates from STAAD.Pro - it uses a panel principle instead, so it is enough to model the perimeter beams (in STAAD.Pro) that will form the panels in RCDC to be designed.

Andrej
Answer Verified By: Kuldeepak Marde
THEN WHY DOES IT NOT BRING THE SLAB FOR SOME PANELS
...and what if there are no perimeter beams?
I imagine the answer will be something like "dummy beams" right?
Hi
As confirmed earlier, RCDC doesn't read plate elements modelled in the STAAD file. RCDC reads the beam and column geometry from STAAD and RAM SS files. From this geometry it identifies all the enclosed regions within the geometry which could be slabs. This will thus include actual cut-outs (large openings bounded by beams) as well as slabs.RCDC allows user to convert slab in to cutout.if you want to design slab with the plate elements modelled in STAAD, we would suggest you to use RCDC-FE. RCDC-FE is part of Structural enterprise license.
