***ERROR*** WRONG STRENGTH PARAMETER PROVIDED.

Hi,

I am using STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition V22. The concrete structure was original modelled in revit 2018 and transferred to Staad through ISM. When the solver is run, I receive a error message ' ***ERROR*** WRONG STRENGTH PARAMETER PROVIDED'. Attached is a PDF of the .anl file and the Staad file.

PDF  LEVEL 4 ONLY.STD

  • PLEAAASE HELPPPP! I keep getting the same error even though i chcked the material and applied the Fy and Fu as given in my assignment... Fy= 50ksi and Fu= 66ksi (and in the software it asked Fy and Fu in kips/in^2). Pleaaase instruct so I can fix it. My assignment is due soon!! Thankyou so much

  • Hello Mathew,

    Did you get an answer to your question? the same problem I am experiencing currently with my model.

  • It was already Staad pro. pre defined material called concrete, see images below.
