Hello,
My team and I have been working on a concrete frame for an undergraduate senior design project. We are relatively new to the software, and have modeled everything in the analytical modeler section. In order to design i believe the structure needs consist of "physical" members which are only obtained in the physical model space. Is there any way to convert my current model from analytical modeler to physical modeler?
Hopefully my inquiry makes sense.
Thank you
In STAAD.Pro environment there is no way to transfer your analytical model to physical environment. Also, in STAAD design happens for analytical members in batch mode. You can use some parameters to specify some conditions which may represent some physical environment.
But, there is one more workflow known as STAAD Advanced Concrete Designer popularly known as RCDC. If you use this workflow after analyzing the structure in STAAD, it will autoform the physical members from analytical staad model and will provide you design, detail, drawings and bar bending schedule for different elements like beam, column, slab etc. I would recommend you to try that feature. You may find some help in the below link.
