Hello Bentley,
As mentioned in below post, Bentley will be providing validation service in near future.
https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/147916/staad-pro-v8i-ss6-validation-for-eurocode
I just want to know when it is expected to be available?
and what will be its scope / features?
For eq.
1) Analysis
2) design as per the applicable code
3) Applicability of points 1 & 2 for:
a) Only for simple members (such as the verification examples provided in the technical reference manual)
b) 2D / 3D frames with columns, beams, bracings & no of storeys etc.
4) Other tools such as response spectrum analysis, wind load generation tools, time history analysis etc.
Will it be paid service or complementary?
I think the validation shall cover all aspects such as mentioned in 1 to 4,
otherwise if analysis is wrong but design is correct, such validation doesn't make any sense.
Regards
Vishal
