• Why does STAAD Aluminum Design report fail to give any output in the "Clause" or "L/C" columns in the Utilization Ratio chart.

    Please help! Designing a simple truss using the Aluminum Code analysis. The initial analysis produced utilization ratios where the "Clause" references AISC's H1-3 Equation and H2-1 Equation. This led to revise my analysis commands so that it was analyzing…

    Hello, I used the aluminum code and got this message for design output. This is the syntax I used: PARAMETER 1 CODE ALUMINUM ALCLAD 1 ALL STRUCTURE 1 ALL CHECK CODE ALL What am I missing? Thanks!
  • Aluminum Design Results

    How do I view the Aluminum design results. I don't see a detailed report. However, I do see a utilization ratio. Which appears to be wrong. Thanks again!
  • Aluminum Member Torsion - STAAD

    I have been unable to find any information on using the ADM in STAAD. In order to calculate my structures I am using "CODE ALUMINUM". After analysis of my structure all of the members are below 1.0 utilization ratio however some members are seeing values…
  • RE: STAAD Pro V8i

    Aluminum design is offered as part of US Specialized Design Code and NOT as part of US Standard Design Code and it has always been like that. You can of course add Aluminum sections to your structural members and analyze those and that can be done with…
  • Aluminum Weld

    Is there a way to have STAAD analyze a member such that the strength decrease from welding is incorporated? Either with a specific weld application or by somehow having the maximum capacity change based on location of the member? Thank you
