Hi, I am modelling a beam with a change of deck along the length of the beam (half of the beam has a W2+3.5" verco deck, and the other half has a W2+2" deck). I read this response: Effects of Changing Deck Type - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD…

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?

Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

when i open mdb file of etabs 16 and designing beam its shows "minimum 13 stations are required for beam" what is the meaning of this?
