Hallo everyone and thank you in advance for the help and the advices you will give me!!
I'm a new STAAD PRO user, I have modeled a 3 floors beam structure, on the top floor of this structure there is a filter house. The structure is loaded by some equipments on the lower floors and accelerations in the main directions, I've created the loads due to the equipment and the loads due to the accelerations applied and I've combined them using the load combinations.
The customer asked me not to model the filter house but to use a single node, placed in the filter house CoG connected to some beams on the top floor in order to apply in the node the force for each load case and get on the structure the sollicitations due to the filter house.
I can't find how to connect a node to many others in order to pass the loads from the node with the load on it to the other nodes, I've read something about the master/slaves nodes but I've not found any description on how to do it step by step.
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks a lot.
