Hi,
I have created a macro to extract bending, shear, and axial forces from STAAD.
The forces are correct, but I am having an issue with the "Location of Max Axial Force" outputs.
Please see attached screenshots. The macro is reporting that the location of the maximum axial force is 1m.
But in STAAD, the location of maximum axial force is 2m. (I am using STAAD Pro Connect V22 Update 12)
The model and Excel documents are attached.
Model for Beam Script.zip
STAAD Beam Forces Extractor V1.xlsm
Thanks,
Ryan
Here 1 means the end position of member.
If it reports 0, that would mean the start position of the member.
If you want to get the actual position, them please multiply ddMaxPos value with the length of the member.
