• Staad.pro Tension y "compresion only" springs

    Hi! I am having some issues. I assigned a "plate mat" support to a foundation, and i activated the "compression only" option. I made sure that i am defining the combinations with de "repeat load" command. And i am still getting tension in some…

  • Suspension Cable Bridge (Error)

    I tried to model a cable suspension bridge for pipes to cross a river. I tried all the possible solutions but still errors are present. I also wanted to know if the cables i used are capable of carrying the loads i applied.. Please I need help! :(

  • steel frame building with tension cables

    Good day, I am currently modelling a steel structure that employs the use of tension cable for lateral bracing in addition to an eccentrically braced frame. I have a few queries as it relates to the specification for the cables, which I have listed…

  • RE: Calculating Deflection (P Delta Effects)

    Tension along a linear member does not impact perpendicular deflection in general finite element analysis. One would have to perform a full-blown cable analysis to see the effect of tension in reducing centenary drape. See Help - Contents - Section…

  • RE: STAAD Pro V8i: Dynamic load on light weight structures with tension-only members

    We don't have a good solution for dynamic analysis that honors tension-only (or cable) member settings. If a dynamic analysis is a must, the best thing you can do is assign all those tension-only members to be normal tension + compression members, but…
