Hello
I am using Staad Pro v8i. I am designing a building with multiple frames and bays. I have added point loads at each node for every floor. After running fine for 2-3 times; Staad modifies the input file in such a way that the same load is applied on multiple nodes; though I had specifically added different loads at different nodes.
EG: 13 FY -100
2 TO 12 FY -200
1 FY -300
CHANGES TO
2 TO 13 FY -100
1 TO 12 FY -200
This should not happen.
Which version of Staad are you using? (Help >>About Staad.Pro). Can you kindly send us the model?
I am using Staad Pro v8i (SELECT series 4) 20.07.09.31.
I have uploaded the file through the Secure File Upload.
Sorry. I cannot see any attachment. Can you please check if you have uploaded the model correctly?
I have uploaded the model through the secure file upload.
@Shany: Did you get the file?

Thanks,
Hello Mannit,
I analyzed the file but didn’t come up with this problem. Can you elaborate on it ?
Which load case and exactly which node number?
Are you talking about
LOAD 2
JOINT LOAD
13 FY -3.59
4 TO 12 FY -10.16
I could not find any load corresponding to 13 FY -100 and 2 to 12 FY -200.
This problem comes and goes. It will note show up in some iterations. After running the program a few times; the input file modifies itself. It generally happens after I close and then reopen the file.
The loads/nodes I had stated in my 1st question were examples; not exact values.
