Hello, I am modeling a floor slab (1 ft thick) with concrete beams (all 24" wide x 36" deep). These beams will be cast monolithically with the floor slab, therefore the beams are modeled as 24" deep. My question is how does STAAD determine the following…

I am working on regular steel structure design via using STAAD to check member deflection. DFF, DJ1 and DJ2 were well applied to define the deflection requirement and beam length, I am sure STAAD had checked the beam deflection in the code checking. …

I have a model of a steel platform. There is one column member that I cannot select by clicking on it. I can drag a box around its mid-point and select it. I can even select it using commands such as select all, select beams parallel to Y-axis, etc. I…
