The option to generate the loading in STAAD Pro V8i - Beava - is greyed out (in mode bridge deck preprocessor ->Loading->run load generator). Anyone has similar problem?
thanks
Tom.
I think a Roadway is not defined. This can be done by going to Deck -> Define Roadway... Now Run Load Generator should be available,

I defined the Roadway and I can run the generator as you suggested but there are no load generated and the analysis stop, see screenshot below, I attach the staad file for an easy reference, many thanks
I have reviewed the model. There is no problem in the model. Even, I am able to generate the vehicle loads on the model as per the followingcondition:
Design code- BS5400 Part 2
Service Load case
Condition- Max +ve FY reaction.
Please have a look into the following. You need to set the proper criteria for load generation.
many thanks, for your answer, now it is working. Is it possible to generate the loading according to the Eurocode? Also I tried to replace the grillage with plate elements but influence surfaces are greyed out
The Bridge Engineering Automated Vehicle Application (B.E.A.V.A)V8i supports the following standards:
Unfortunately, Eurocode is not supported. If you have problem with the plate model, please upload the model. We need to look into the revised model.
