• Bi-axial bending and torsion EC3

    Hello everyone, I have a question about the bi-axial bending and torsion calculations in StaadPro based on EC3. I designed a beam (RHS) subjected to bi-axial bending and torsion. I am comparing my hand calculations with Staad pro unity check but…

  • User Table Custom Section - Two Pipes (side to side) Defined by one element. Possible?

    Hi guys/girls, I'm interested in modeling two hollow steel pipes which, in real life, would be placed side by side as illustrated in the attached picture. 1. I'm trying to find out if I can model this using one element, by creating a custom section…

  • Staad Pro - Critical moment calculation according to Eurocode 3

    Hi everyone! I am analysing a Channel section according to Eurocode 3 and I am finding it hard to understand how Staad calculates the critical Moment (Mcr) The critical moment I get from the program is different from the one I get from "Annex F of…

  • Staad Pro - AISC ASD steel design

    Hi everyone! Where can I find the expression for the parameters "FCZ", "FTZ", "FCY", and "FTY" in AISC ASD regulation? Thanks!

  • Wind load for leaning structures

    Hello In a tutorial I read that wind loads can only be applied to members or planes paralelle to one of the axes, is this true? My building is shaped like a diamond and therefore have very few members fulfilling this requirement. I have used the…

  • STAAD Pro Optimization Parameters

    I just started using STAAD Pro through my college. I am modeling a steel structure and would like to automatically optimize the structure based solely on total deflection (global maximum deflection) and weight. I want each value (deflection and weight…

  • A little Gap between STAAD Analysis and AISC ASD

    Hi there guys I've been calculating with STAAD Pro. & by myself and I realized that there are a little difference between two answers. When you analyze steel structure, usually you apply the AISC Code (ASD). I did two experiment, first I used STAAD…

  • Risa to Staad

    Our company recently went from Risa to STAAD, is there any way to import a RISA 3D file into STAAD other than the DXF feature? The dxf only imports the geometry and I would like to get the properties. I know you can go the other way, from STAAD to Risa…

  • Design parameter ESTIFF in the BS5950:2000 design code in STAAD.Pro V8i

    The maximum utilization ratio displayed in the BS5950:2000 code check doesn’t match the maximum utilization ratio stated in the ‘Critical loads for each clause check’ table at the bottom.

  • Staad steel design EC3 code checking

    Hi I am performing a code check against EC3 and have specified the TRACK parameter as 2.0 i.e. to output detailed results. I see these results in the output file but there does not seem to be any way to include them in a report. If I select Steel Design…

  • Re: Can multiple RATIO commands apply to a single Code Check?

    You need to use the design command in the following manner: LOAD LIST <combo #1 without seismic> PARAMETER 1 ----------------- --------------- RATIO 1.0 ALL CHECK CODE ALL LOAD LIST <combo #2 with seismic> PARAMETER 2 …

  • How can we incorporate RAM Connection data in ISM file?

    I have a steel structure Modeled, Analysed & Designed in STAAD.Pro V8i SS4 and Connections designed in RAM Connection plugin for STAAD. However, when I'm creating a repository for exporting the data to Pro Steel for detailing, RAM Connection data is not…

  • STAAD.Pro - user table does not stay when closing/opening file

    I've created a shape of a wide flange with a plate welded on top in the section wizard. I've imported it into STAAD and assigned it to the necessary members. STAAD analyzes it just fine, but when I close the file and reopen it, STAAD does not recognize…
