Whenever using Grouping for end wall columns for wind loads and applying one-way distribution the loads are taken incorrectly,
I have attached the staad model showing the problem with connect edition, also when the same model is opened through an older version of staad pro v8i, SS6 the one-way distribution is showing correctly.
For Example, beam 23 in the model should not take any load while applied with one-way distribution, however, GZ direction UDL is also applied. Please advise us on this issue.ENQ212292-AMANA-3D.STD
ENQ212292-AMANA-3D_mod.STDThe .std file attached when analyzed throws errors. To investigate model was modified (ENQ212292-AMANA-3D_mod.STD). There is a defect already posted w.r.t floor loads with one-way distribution having towards option (BUG 487757). Our development team is working to fix the issue while as a workaround you can apply the loading component for the floor load as a member load on the members.
we are dealing with complex structures, applying as member loads is a cumbersome process when comes to load application on structures, this issue needs to be addressed as early as possible.
Thanks
