Hello
As part of my project I had been going through some examples as shown on the verification manual of Staad Pro v8i and version 2007. However, I been having issues with some of the examples as some do not show the full detail of calculation description.The one example been having problem with from Staad 2007 VM is on DYNA-Beam 4 where you must calculate the first 3 natural frequencies of the cantilever thats split up into 20 members. Using the reference mentioned I assume the equation that is being used is the following:\omega_i = 2 * \sqrt{\frac{AEN^2}{ML}} * sin(\frac{(2i - 1) * \pi}{4 N})Assuming N = 20L = 80 inw = 1.124 lb/inA = 4 in^2I = 1.33333 in4g = 386.4 in/sec2E 30000ksiM = (1.124/386.4) * 80According to the example and the staad solution the 3 frequencies are as follows:
f1 = 10.237
f2 = 63.974
f3 = 178.67Is it possible that you could clarify/correct my approach?
