  • Re: BS V8i - Lack of Bentley Feedback

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but, Shawn does make some good points. ;-) Most groups in Bentley do focus on certain products and areas. That's not unusual at all. So while some will know STAAD or RAM much better than Structural, the opposite…

  • 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…
