Dear All,
I would like to ask if, and if yes, how, is it possible to model acceleration due to land transportation in Staad.Pro model?
I would like to be able to apply an acceleration value at the COG of the structure and have it applied to all the Dead Loads.
The structure I am working on would be transported on land and I would like to apply accelerations due to speed changes, turning, emergency braking, wind. This is not an offshore structure, only an onshore module that should be transported by the road.
I know this feature was possible in Staad Offshore, but since that software is no longer supported by Bentley, I am looking for ways of doing in in Staad.Pro.
I will appreciate your tips. Thank you.
STAAD Offshore has been phased out. You may try something in STAAD.Pro as explained in the wiki-
