We have tried to compare the results of V22.04.00.40 & V22.05.00.131 prior to shift to the latest update - same STAAD file (no modifications). As shown in the snapshot, significant post-processing output differences were found. The largest differences…

I have modelled a structure and applied wind load using staad wind load generator. The external and internal pressure coefficients are not taken into account while doing this. My structure is open and i have defined the same in wind load generation. Will…

The wind load generator contains a factor, f to be used to multiply wind loads with a default value of 1.0. Is this factor where the user might adjust the wind load for varying shape factors for open structures as given in ASCE 7? In parallel to this…

I'm analyzing a shelter made of steel tubes/pipes, that possibly will be covered by some kind of fabric all around. The structure has been modeled as a skeleton of steel tubes and is defined as enclosed for wind load calculation. While using the wind…
