Hi, I am trying to export a csv or excel file where I can see the maximum Dead and Live/Roof live load moments in each beam. I need to obtain them unfactored to post-process them in excel. The table would simply have the beam label, Md and ML. I've been…

Hi, I am modelling a beam with a change of deck along the length of the beam (half of the beam has a W2+3.5" verco deck, and the other half has a W2+2" deck). I read this response: Effects of Changing Deck Type - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD…

Hi All, I was hoping someone can help me. I am trying to perform a Finite Element Analysis of a Plate with a load on 100KN but the subject error stops the analysis. I have searched but coudn't find the solution. Can anybody guide me please how to…

Hello, I am seeing a precompression failure for my two-way slab with opening infill beams (Layers > Deign Status > Status Plan). When I go to use the Auditor tool, I do not see much information about the precompression failure (i.e., the needed precompression…

Hi, In the STAAD section wizard, after creating a built-up box section, I manually change the values of Shear Resisiting Areas ('Ay' 'Az'), width, and thickness of flange and web (TD, TB, D, B) before exporting it as a UPT file. For such section…

Good morning, I have problem with my steel truss bridge design, i've used member specification release MY;MZ and truss. Then this message came after i am running the analysis. ***WARNING - INSTABILITY AT JOINT 490 DIRECTION = MZ PROBABLE CAUSE…

Hi, I'm running an AITC code check on a wood floor system. The ANL file gives the check for each member, but for actual stresses it takes the stress at the member START. I see LOCATION is 0.0000. I have BEAM = 1, but that seems to have no effect. Can…

Hello, As you can see in the image, the software gives me the possibility of applying steel reinforcements to the top and bottom flanges of the beam section, but I can't find an option to do the same with its web. Is it possible to do this? If so, how…

Good day, people! I just wanted to ask re: printing of text schedule in STAAD RCDC. When I print the text schedule, I can't read the reinforcement details because they're all in symbols. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance!!!

Hello Everyone Which is better to intersect the primary beam and secondary beam (Figure1), or Merge the primary beam to be one (Figure2)?

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

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…

Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

Is there a way to make a user defined double steel section? Basically two W-shaped steel section side by side welded together? In RAM elements there is an available section type for such a section called 2Ws but I am not sure if RAM SS has the same. I…

When running my model, I noticed I was getting column design strips widths smaller than the width of my beam. I changed my settings in the strip generation tab to column strip width calc for "Code T-beam" and checked the box "design column strip for column…

Why does RAM Structural System round down the Yield Strength fy value? I am located in Canada so if I use american steel then I convert the fy=50 000psi to MPa which is approximately 345MPa. So in the Modeler when laying out the beams I type in 345MPa…

Hi, How can I apply mesh in a normal beam? I can only find the generate mesh tool for the plate. Thank you in Advance for your response. Cheers, Parisa

I just go a more recent version of RAM SS and when I run the beam module there are certain beam that now show that they fail in deflection. But when I look at the report the beam does not fail in deflection. I have tried deleting the beam and putting…

Good day everyone! How can I get the natural frequency of a particular beam/ element in STAAD.Pro v8i? My client is requiring me to check this condition which involved the checking of frequency of a particular beam as seen in Table A in attached…

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?

Hi, I have a question about the RAM Beam and Frame design. Do they complete each other or they are the replacement? The reason I am asking this question is the model that I have with Bent beam. The beam connects the top level to the mid level. If…

I have 500 beams need to be checked/designed. Is there an option to input all the reinforcements (Quantity, Bar size, Reinforcement layer, etc.) from an excel file that has all the reinforcement information for each beam in a row to the software?

Hi ! There is a warning in Staad pro output file in Concrete design "Lenght to depth ratio is less than 2.5" for short beams. My question is my design is correct with this warning or not ? If not what should i do ? Thanks.
