https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/169270/moment-on-grade-slabHi all, Is there any way to assign moment force in the plate? I&#39;m currently designing the grade slab for equipment. I simplify the moment occur by the equipment as a percentage of equipment weight. But, I cant find the tools to input moment in the plateen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/485714?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 15 Oct 2018 08:48:21 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0116bb06-6e1f-43f6-9209-a5c02f5e2276welly charisma<p>Thank you Modestas for the reply. I think that the best way to do atm. Who knows STAAD will add this features in the future update. My best regards.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/485699?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 15 Oct 2018 08:11:28 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e77a45f3-3626-4e3e-b866-18e6b82441b2Modestas<p>I assume this questions is related to STAAD.Pro. I don&#39;t think that you can apply a moment directly on the plate. One of the options is using the couple of&nbsp;forces as you said. The other option would be to mesh the plate so that the node where the moment is applied would exist and then apply that moment as a nodal moment.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
