  • Print Section forces of members

    Hello, I have done a beam analysis and the shear at the middle is excactly 0. When i use " SECTION 0.5 MEMB 1" the results are okay. That means in the output file "shear y" is 0 at position 0.5. But when i use SECTION command with 2 or 3 positions…

    Dear sir, I am doing a design calculation for cat ladder using solid plates and round bar .But it is not giving me results with utilization ratio?how i can design it.Kindly suggest me method for these profile.stad file is attached. CAT LADDR.std
  • COMPOSITE DECK

    Dear sir, I designed a structure by using both method.in first method i deaigned it by composite beam method.and in second method i do it with composite deck.but by using composite beams giving lower utilization ratio than composite deck method.can…
  • Error while importing dxf to section wizard in Staad Pro from AutoCAD

    I am analysing an RCC box girder for which some peculiar tapered sections have to be created. I created a tapered rectangular section in AutoCAD 2014. I used polyline to create the 2D and then extruded it to make it a solid 3D section. Now when I import…
  • Incline Support Reactions Sign Convention

    Hi, I'm modelling a circular silo and assign incline supports and compression only(KFX) supports, but half of the tank support reaction results into X direction is Positive(+) and the other half support reactions into X direction is Negetive (-). Can…
  • how to get the loadings details in report????

    I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?
  • How to model Vibration of Machine

    Dear All, I want to ask about the vibration of machine. As far as I know, we need to input as sine function. Am I right? I assumed the weight of machine is 110 kN and assumed that 10% of weight will be placed as the vibration. I use…
  • SmartPlant 3D- STAAD.Pro interface through CIS/2 translator

    Hi! I am trying to import SmartPlant 3D Structural model to STAAD.Pro through CIS/2 translator. I am able to import steel sections of Indian Section library. But I am unable to import Rectangular Section (Prismatic member not available in STAAD Section…
  • Tapered Members

    Section 5.20.3 states that "f 1 (Depth of section at start node) should always be greater than f 3 (Depth of section at end node)." In the model I am working in, it makes more sense for me to define my members from left to right which results in some…
  • Single Line Format <-> List format

    I mistakenly converted my input file to single line format. Is there any way to get it back to list format without a lot of keyboard time?
  • large rotational displacement

    When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…
  • Re: Slab Element in Staad

    yes i know the said thing but in actual practice we have different conditions for plate such as simply supported, fixed etc. then in space frame with the model say 3*3 bay both sides and height of building say 20 meter then in that case if i am using…
  • Releasing plate elements from attached beams?

    Here's a situation that seems to come up frequently: I create a model in STAAD that includes a combination of linear elements (for things like beams, columns, etc.) and plate elements (to model surface elements like floors, roofs, etc.). When surface…

    Hello! I am new to ISM, and am experimenting with it as a central repository for Prostructures design and STAAD Engineering data. It seems to work at first attempt, but I am having an issue with materials. It seems that the mapping of materials from…
  • Tension force in a tank wall

    I have modelled a rectangular concrete tank in STAAD using plate elements and need to do some additional calculations to check the crack widths do not exceed a given value. I can get a contour plot of the bending moments in the walls but when the tank…
