why is RCDC not placing slab in this panelhttps://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/212030/why-is-rcdc-not-placing-slab-in-this-panelgood day guys, i tried designing this structure and I noticed rcdc is placing a slab where I did not put plate in staad pro ce and it removes some plates why? those places without slabs were ignored by rcdcen-USTelligent Community 12RE: why is RCDC not placing slab in this panelhttps://communities.bentley.com/thread/663718?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 30 Jul 2021 17:40:40 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:addd00cb-afe0-4601-a012-c2b20db5b005Royal Civil Design Center<p><strong>Slab Detection</strong></p> <p><strong>RCDC reads the beam and column geometry from both STAAD and E-tabs files.

It only reads the vertical plates as shear wall if you used parametric modelling for creating those vertical plates.</p> <p>To design Slab, RCDC detects panels depending on the closed beams available. Now here if you do not model plates and remove the unwanted nodes those were created for plates, the model will be read by RCDC correctly.</p> <p>If you want to model the plates and want to use the same for design, RCDC FE is the product you should use.</p> <p>Thanks!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: why is RCDC not placing slab in this panelhttps://communities.bentley.com/thread/645261?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 18 Apr 2021 12:05:03 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5c72302a-e90b-4236-aab1-09f3e4b36454hakeem olokunola<p><a href="https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/main-duplex.STD">communities.bentley.com/.../main-duplex.STD</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: why is RCDC not placing slab in this panelhttps://communities.bentley.com/thread/645259?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 18 Apr 2021 11:42:00 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:90213fa8-cd64-46a8-9ca2-b9eb5294f32eAbhisek M<p>Can you please upload the STAAD file?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
