I am attempting to design concrete slabs, using plate elements. Under the Analytical Modeling - 'Design' Tab, I am attempting to select 'DESIGN SLAB/ELEMENT' under the Design commands prompt. However, this option is missing. I only have options for 'DESIGN BEAM', 'DESING COLUMN', AND 'TAKE OFF'. I am following a tutorial which uses an older version of staad pro. Should this slab option still be present in this version, or has it been relocated?
Hello Jacob,
Design slab is there in the latest version also. can you please let me know which version you are using? Also, share the STAAD file to investigate further.
change your design code from ACI 318-14 to ACI 318-11 and "Slab Design/Element" will appear under the Design Commands.
