• Cannot Select Design Parameters Drop Down List

    Hi! I am a newbie user of STAAD PRO Connect Edition. I received from my senior some Staad Model that I need to review. It has 4 Design Parameters that checks different loading conditions and design checks. Unfortunate in the Post Process > Results…
  • Design Parameters Not Appearing in Postprocessing

    Hello, I have defined multiple parameters in order to check different load combinations for different groups as shown in the portion of the input file I pasted below. LOAD LIST 1101 TO 1104 1201 TO 1204 1301 TO 1320 1401 TO 1412 1501 TO 1504 - 1601…
  • why adding a node on a beam shows different result when analyzed.

    when i add node in continuous beam they result are changed in analysis and design i get different utilization ratio. without node beam are failed and by add node beam became passed .why ?
  • Lx and Lz parameter

    MEM length - 6 m Stiff plate in yellow color at 1.5m interval So shld i give Lz -1.5m or Ly-1.5 Kindly explain me briefly Thank you
  • Slenderness Check as per BS 5950

    As we do assign "Main" command in Staad pro, What is the difference between Main 1 & Main 2. How we can say one is Main Structural Member & another is Secondary member. And what are those values 180 & 200 ? Can Anyone explain this ? Thanks in advance…
  • STEEL DESIGN PARAMETER ASD VS LRFD OUTPUT DIFFERENCE

    Hello, I want to analyze the structure for both ASD and LRFD load combinations and design parameters. I am doing different iterations to evaluate unity check for different sections. STAAD is giving me very odd results if I use ASD parameters vs LRFD…
  • If a member bottom flange is braced for torsional buckling at it's midpoint and end, should I be specifying UNB for those points or is the end node already covered?

    I am modeling an existing warehouse and I'm working on inputting all the design parameters. I have a rafter beam that is braced at the midpoint and end for torsion. How would I specify bracing at these points?
  • STAAD.Pro - Design Parameters LY and LZ

    I'm attempting to specify a length for design parameters LY and LZ for certain members, but the KL/r value is being calculated using the overall member length (not the LY and LZ values) and the members fail in slenderness. I have used these design parameters…
  • STAAD PRO CONNECT, AASHTO LRFD design parameter issue

    I have a structural steel frame, sign structure 185 ft span modeled in staad pro connect edition. And able to get design ouput per AISC 360-16 or AISC LRFD. On the other hand, I need to design those member according AASHTO LRFD which is also available…
  • Design Parameters

    what define the axis of the design parameters like LY,LX,LZ,KY,KX,KZ and when to define each please help iam new to this.
  • RE: Adjusted Rebar in design Concrete column .

    Hello, If you are not aware, you can apply commands like MAXMAIN, MAXSEC, MINMAIN and MINSEC for defining the Maximum to Minimum range of diameter to choose from for Main and Secondary bars. These options can accessed from Define Parameters option on…
  • RE: STEEL STRUCTURE DESIGNIN

    First you should look at the default values for each design parameter and if you think the default value is going to work for your structural member, you do not need to add/assign a design parameter explicitly. However if that is not the case, you would…
