A Section created using Section Wizard can't be viewd in 3D rendering in STAAD

Hi everybody,

I tried to create a new section using section wizard and then exporting it into STAAD, and using create user table >>> Define >>> assign, but when I tried to view it as a 3D rendered , it appered as a line, and I've to view it in its real shape to get the proper Beta Angle of the beam to get the right load analysis of my structure and then a right design,

so what's the solution for this situation??????

Thanks a lot in advance =')

  • STAAD cannot design coldformed sections unless these are chosen from the coldformed section database available within the software. In your case, you have defined general sections and so these cannot be designed per the AISI code ( members 7 9 17 to 20 ... etc ). The only way you can get these designed is, if you add these coldformed sections directly into the STAAD.Pro Coldformed section database. However you have to choose one of the standard coldformed shapes that is already available and add the new section to that database

    Also 23, 24, 25 ... are aluminum section and cannot be designed using LRFD code. You will need to design these as per the Aluminum code. This code comes as part of the US Specialized Design code pack.
