• Wind load does not show

    As you can see here the wind load does not show on the rest of the Z+ building face i tried to play with the ranges but it does not work the part where it does not show is a cantilivar beam the left side of the photo down here

  • RAM Concept Wind-Ultimate

    What is the use of Lateral Group vs. Single Group when creating load combos in RAM Concept? My understanding is that the Lateral Group will review all the lateral cases associated with the selected Key Loading type (i.e. Wind-Ultimate), ensuring you do…

  • Wind Projected Area on Angular Members

    Hi, I am modelling an open structure with angular sections as the vertical members (Telco tower). However I found that the wind forces on the angles are a bit large. So I did a test model to compare a tube 100x100mm and an equal angle 100x100mm, applied…

  • Modelling a lamp post in FE, add load on a dummy element to add loads to lamp post.

    I have done a FE of a lamp post to assess the secondary stresses at the connection between two of its tubes where there are high local stresses (due compatibility of deformation at the intersection between plates meeting at different angles). when I…

  • screenwall at roof level

    I have a relatively tall screen wall at the roof level - about 20ft tall - around a mechanical area. The structure is kicked back into the roof diaphragm. What is the best way to model it so that RAM Frame accounts for its wind surface area? The footprint…

    Hello, Currently, I am using STAAD pro Connect edition's latest version. Following are question mainly targeting of RCC and Steel structure design in STAAD Pro and in other Bentley tools per Eurocode with German N ational Annex (NA). 1. Can…

  • WIND ON PLATE ELEMENT

    Hello. I have STAAD model of structure in which I am using beam and plate element. I am using wind load generator to apply wind on beam and plate. But loads on plate is not generated. It is generated only on beams. Advise for how to apply wind load…

  • 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?

  • Unbraced Length of Lateral Columns in RAM SS

    How shall we assign the unbraced length of lateral columns in a building with a mix of lateral and gravity columns supporting a flat slab? The building does have shear walls as well as a part of MWFRS. I know for gravity columns, it will be safe to…

  • RAM Frame crashes during analysis (wind load crash - seismic works)

    I have a pesky model that I've been working through. Originally having issues with a sloped semi-rigid diaphragm at the high roof, I eventually changed it to be flat in order to get a first pass on the model. Dead, Live, Roof, Seismic, COR, Eigen Solution…

  • *WARNING- NO MEMBERS LOADED FOR A WIND LOAD GENERATION.

    *WARNING- NO MEMBERS LOADED FOR A WIND LOAD GENERATION I tried finding anything regarding this warning in the output viewer but found nothing. What could cause this warning to show up? I reviewed the applied wind load and everything looks normal. I…

  • Getting Wind Load error in RAM Structural Frame: "Some of the Wind Loads for Load Case (every single one of them) may have been missed on diaphragm." How to fix this? Also can't find the support contact information?

    Having some problems with RAM Structural Frame: "Some of the Wind Loads for Load Case (every single one of them) may have been missed on diaphragm." How is this solved? If this is a quick fix, please let me know. How do I get the wind loads to generate…

  • Modeling a Building Addition w/ No Wind on One Side

    If I'm modeling a building addition that has one side not exposed to wind pressure, how do I make sure that no wind is applied to that face in RAM Frame? I was considering not attaching my semi rigid diaphragm to the deck edge on that side, but I'm not…

  • RAM Frame and large cantilevers

    I have a stadium project that I'm designing that has a cantilevered roof of approximately 23'. Gravity loading is easily accounted for, but my concern - especially with the large cantilever - is what wind loading is RAM Frame applying. I believe that…

  • Windload

    Asking on behalf of user Farhah Naaim, who is having difficulty posting to the forum: "Please help me. In STAAD.Pro, The wind pressure will be acting towards the wall from outside for the windward wall. But my structure has the internal pressure acting…

  • RE: Wind Load Application- Incorrect?

    For wind loading on closed structures, the software needs to have closed panels made of beam elements on all sides or beam elements on all sides except one which may be defined as supports. In your case such panels are not formed. Also you may know that…

  • ABOUT WIND EXPOSURE

    Please help if I decrease the exposure from 1 to 0.4 it doesn't change the wind load magnitude? What s wrong? 6x6shelter26case3.std See attached staad file

  • RE: Wind Load using ASCE 7-10

    Depending on the structure type that you select in the Common page from inside the Wind Load Definition dialog box, the next couple of pages would show the equations for velocity pressure qz and the design wind pressure pz that the software uses. For…

  • RE: Wind Load Generator

    The factor is basically to provide the user with an option to multiply the generated wind load, in case required. It is not specific to open structures. For automatic wind load generation as per ASCE 7, force coefficients Cf are used by the software in…

  • RE: Wind load in direction of skewed grid

    For Ram Structural System, you can specify any plan angle when using Wind (or Seismic) User Defined Story Forces, but the code-specific, program generated loads are based on the global axes. For more see: If you are using a flexible diaphragm type, then…

  • RE: generate wind load using staad pro as ASCE

    STAAD.Pro does not automatically generate wind loading on the roof. Please refer to my post in the following thread for more discussion on this topic http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/f/5932/p/116980/359851#359851…

  • RE: Wind Definition using BS CP3

    For wind load generation in STAAD.Pro using the open structure option, the uniform wind load calculated on any member is based on the width of that member resisting the wind. The wind load generation does not consider any shielding effect when it generates…

  • Rotate RAM Frame Generated Wind Loads or rotate entire RAM SS model?

    Is it possible to set my RAM Frame wind loads to be generated at an angle? If not, what would be the best way to go about rotating my model? Thanks!
