Hello, I am trying to model Intze Tank with Raft using STAAD Pro. I have applied dynamic earthquake load at a node representing C.G. of impulsive mass as per IS 1893 and provided master slave connection with impulsive mass C.G. and node of column…

i am modelling a building substructure in STAAD PRO CONNECT EDIITION And getting the error regarding modulus of elasticity. i have used" Missing property tool" to check if any member/element is left from property assignment but it shows that there is…

I have a slab connected by dowels. What properties in the dowel mimicking slab element do i need to reduce to 0.001 to mimic DSDQ dowels please. I have modelled 50mm x 50mm x 50mm dowels in concrete and need to change kFs/kFr/kMrs etc

We have been working on a model and needed to create a number of custom sections to do so. I created all of the custom sections on my machine and when I went to send them to my coworker, I couldn't find them. I believed the custom sections would…

Hi all, I have to model as fixed concrete wall and above that want to place a steel member without any fixing and if place a point load on one end need to check deflection in steel member and concrete stress in wall.. how to model this plz help me engineers…

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?

How to create a cantilever slab without beams in the Physical modeler in STAAD connect edition?

Hi, I would like to check about the modelling of the tendon in RAM Concept. Due to the M&E opening, i need to shift the tendon to avoid the opening and as a results that my tendon is no straight. Can I know is the software can analysis the tendon…

Hi guys, I am modelling a slab supported on piles, the piles are actually tension piles to support upheave beneath the slab. I model the slab using plate elements and use vertical restraint node support at where the piles are located. The issue I…

Please, i need your help, pls how can i simulate a building collapse on STAAD pro software, i am currently investigating the collapse mechanism of a structure and i am finding it difficult to simulate the progressive collapse using STAAD sofware, thank…

I have a tube with a torque on it. I'd like to resist this torsion through beam framing into each side (perpendicular to the main beam with the torsion on it). However, the connection will only transfer shear forces. What are my options for modelling…

Staad crashes while assigning beta angle. Beta angles gets deleted after reopening the staad file.

I'm modeling a concrete two-way slab structure including multiple permanent "movement joints" with Ram SS. In my model, movement joints are mostly located at the middle of spans and if I develop completely separated edges at each side of the joint,…

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

Hi all, 1) Is there a way to set the ground level in STAAD Pro or is the y=0 level the permanent ground level? This is for the purpose of computing the seismic forces because, from what I know, distribution of the computed base shear per level of a structure…

I have hundreds of warnings and I don't know what to do about it. They are all about ZERO STIFFNESS IN DIRECTION__ AT JOINT__ EQN. NO.__ and THERE WERE MORE THAN 12 DOF WITH ZERO STIFFNESS. VILLA QAHTANI R14.std

In most of the software there is option for unique coloring to the beams/plates based on the user requirements, kindly advice if it is possible in staad, if not possible please consider this mail as feedback/request for the future up-dations in the s…

I am trying to simulate a demolition sequence for a large hangar. The demolition sequence will involve removing steel members in a particular sequence. I have to monitor the stresses in the members to remain at the end of each stage of the removal. Here…

QUESTION 1: I am designing a 12-storey building using Staad Pro v8i. I have moment frames going in both East-West and North-South directions. The frames in the E-W direction are to be designed per the strong axis due to wind load considerations. How…

Hi -- I have a C++ program which attempts to build and save a model via the RAM Data Access COM library. I have been able to successfully add CompDeckProp objects and slab edges to my model, but have found that after trying to assign decks (via IFloorType…

Hello to all, In reality horizontal braces (or vertical brace, beam, etc) that is design for tension only resist "some" axial compression capacity. Is there a way that this axial compression capacity can be input in STAAD? For example, a horizontal…
