Good morning,
I am facing a problem in the attribution of BEta angle.
This property disappears when i am restarting the program and reopening the STD file.
Is there any solution for keeping it ?
Image 1: BETA=0degmage 2: Beta=90deg
Thanks in advance.

When you assign a beta angle, a command is recorded in the STAAD input file under the CONSTANTS heading. The command usually looks like
BETA 90 MEMBER ....
After you re-open the file, go into the editor and check whether the command is present.
OK thanks for this quick reply.now i have another question for beta angle and seismic design.Indeed, with configuration 1, i have only 13mm deflection in seismic design, whereas with config 2 it is coming 51mm.
Config 1
Config 2
The main difference is that the upper beams have a beta of 90deg in the second configuration.
I don't think mechanical behavior can explain this big difference in the deflection.
Do you have an idea on why i am getting so much difference between the two designs?
Thanks again
Can you please post the 2 models, namely, the one with the BETA and the one without the BETA? Or, you may want to ask the Technical support people at STAAD through a service ticket.
Hello,
here is my model.
It is very strange as it is giving very different results for deflections with same seismic conditions.
Regards,
