Can someone guide me on how to do Story drift check in STAAD ? Also,Can I insert a maximum displacement value to know if there is any node that exceeds this value in the post processing mode ?
The PRINT STORY DRIFT command may be used to obtain a print-out of the average lateral displacement of all joints at each horizontal level along the height of the structure. You need to enter this command after the PERFORM ANALYSIS command.
I don't think that you can compare the entered node displacement with maximum displacement, but this cane done manually by checking the Node Displacement Summary table.
