• Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?
  • How does STAAD determine beam deflections?

    Hello, I am modeling a floor slab (1 ft thick) with concrete beams (all 24" wide x 36" deep). These beams will be cast monolithically with the floor slab, therefore the beams are modeled as 24" deep. My question is how does STAAD determine the following…
  • RE: RAM Concept - Beam Torsion

    "As Shear" is appropriate for situations where the torsion is primarily caused by vertical shear eccentric from the "shear core" of the cross section (for a typical cross section with a beam, the "shear core" is the beam cross section). "As Shear" will…
