I need to create two load envelopes for strength and deflection checks.
I'm using physical modeler for creating the model , therefore the envelope loads can not be created in Analytical model. How could I create envelopes in physical modeler?
In general , the work flow of using physical modeler and two design parameters is not clear, how it could be?
You need to create strength and serviceability load envelopes manually in the input file by using STAAD Editor. The, you can create the design parameters'' block for the required design code as usual in the Analytical Modeler.
the work flow of using physical modeler and two design parameters is not clear, how it could be?
Could you let me know how I could check deflection and strength using different load cases with considering above situation?
As of now, the only way to create a Load Envelope is directly in the input file by using STAAD Editor if the model was generated by using the Physical Modeler. We are aware of this limitation and and enhancement request (#661152) has already been logged for the development team.
