Hello Experts~~
Have the viewing of .UPT files (built up section) plus graphical stress diagram in Result Sections included in latest Staad Release? Thanks..
Yes, if the Profile Polygon of the section is defined in the UPT file, then a 3D view of that section will be shown in the rendered view as well as in the Beam Stress results.
I didn't get it, the upt file (a box section made of steel plates) is exported from Staad Section Wizard (.sec file). But I cant see the stress diagram section, only one line. And is their any possibility/feature to show the section in Staad 3D rendering or property sections. Thanks.
the .sec file..shown in attachments
In order to see the 3D shape, the UPT file must contain the polygon points of that section. When you create a custom section in the Section Wizard's Section Builder mode, these polygon points will not be exported (you should get a warning message during the export process telling the same) so you will not be able to see the 3D shape in STAAD.Pro. The profile polygon points should be exported if the model is created in the Free Sketch mode of the Section Wizard.
So, I am a registered user and sat after many days. But why these, shortcoming in that software, these should be included. and moreover, in may licensed version v.21, the measurement option in section builder (wizard) is still missing, which I thought very useful if included.
Thanks any way for your quick reply......
