Hi! The STAAD Editor of my model contains "STAAD.Pro Generated Comment" and below it is the previous node coordinates of node number 121 from my first revision of the model. The Analysis Output also contains the same comment. Where did the "STAAD.Pro…

See attached STAAD files. At node 3, the deflection is way too high and I can't find the reason. I suppose there's an issue since beams 5,6,7 and 12 are one member, but is bent. Not sure who do models this without causing issues ! Suspended_Bentley.S…

Is this post from 2015 still the best way to model a wall/shell element on top of a beam ignoring the shear transfer between them? I have a situation similar to the image below and would like to get a moment closer to the simple span moment of 903 kp…

Hello. Please go through attached PowerPoint and then the below discussion will make more sense. I am using STAAD version 20.07.11.70. The main problem is: when modelling decks or bulkheads which include offset beam elements and plates attached to…

Hi I am designing a steel grating with a chequered plate and cross members. I am trying to model it in 2 ways 1. Neglecting the effect of cross members, i am modeling a composite beam (ISMB with a top plate) for the complete span. I am using BM…

Hello, I would like to model the same stack shown in fig and check it for wind and seismic loadings. Can you please guide me through step by step procedure to do so? Ravikant

Given the layout of strips, in odd configurations due to irregular structural geometries, is it in y'all's opinion reasonable to review the original strips for any code-related failures (i.e. shear or tension) and make the proper adjustments to the PT…

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

In the modeler there are nodes that your cursor snaps to (like when putting a column off grid). However after changing framing schemes around I've found that sometimes these nodes created remain. Is there a way to delete these phantom nodes? I currently…

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?

Greetings All, I am working on a RAM SS model for an existing building and I've come across the condition shown in the image: There is a low concrete slab framing into the bottom of a concrete beam and another concrete slab at a higher elevation…

Hello, I am currently working on a building slab, I have modeled it with two different methods, one with all beams and plates objects and another with only beams using floor load command. The Y total loads are very similar, I assumed it as equals, but…

Hi everyone, I am modelling concrete tunnel rings with an opening. The rings are connected by shear dowels that supposed to have a shear capacity up to 300kN. I have a few questions regarding the modelling technique of this structure. I have modelled…

Hello, I am modeling a building that has a concrete pan joist system. I model the columns, support beams, pan joists (using the pan joist tool), and slab. I wanted to check my work so i did no apply any external loading, but entered the concrete design…

How Can I change the Horizontal position of biaxial columns from the center to the right side, like the below figure? I'm Using Staad pro connect edition.

Hello, I am using Staad Pro Advanced Connect Edition. I am trying to analyse a plate with multiple holes. To accomplish this task I am using the structure wizard module for polygonal plate with holes under surface or plate models. I have successfully…

I am trying to model a Elevated steel water tank with bracing for analysis in STAAD.Pro. While modelling the structure I've encountered a problem and would like your help. The problem is: While the beam offset works perfectly for modelling a beam…

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone had experience with modeling steel framing over short gravity walls. I have a Floor with a height of 18'. Some of the interior walls are shorter at about 12', with a continuous footing along them. The entire floor…

I am trying to model a gable roof. I understand that this needs to be accomplished by adjusting the heights of the ridge beam but am having trouble defining two separate slab polygons. I am able to successfully model one half of the gable roof and have…

I have a building that is mostly two stories with a connected one story area; the two areas are structurally connected so it is preferred that they are modeled together.The one story area has a sloped roof. When I try to slope the roof of the one story…

Does Bentley have recommendations for modeling wood shear wall stiffness in RAM SS? I am working on a concrete podium project with 4 stories of wood framing above the top concrete level. I would like to do a 2 stage lateral analysis in RAM SS to determine…

Dear Sir/Madam, I am experiencing a typical error while modeling the structure in the Staad Pro. After meshing i selected the polygonal opening but when i applied for the opening it shows error in modeling. Please help me out and point out my…

Dear All, I am new member of the forum and am looking for some answers in regards to one of my Staad Pro models. Greatly appreciate some information from you all experienced engineers. Can we super-postion two models in Staad Pro? I have 1…
