• Plate Orientation not getting changed

    I am working on a rectangular steel tank, and One of the faces got orientated incorrectly, I selected that face and changed the orientation using the reference point option, 90 % plates got oriented and some of them did not get oriented. when I am trying…
  • Bending Moment on the local face of plate element

    Hi everyone, I'm wondering about the direction of Mx and My in picture below. Should Mx and My bend around y and x-axis respectively? Thank you for your kind response.
  • Area of Steel Reqd. for Tran. Moment for Load Case ____ exceeds the Maximum Allowable for Element # ______ - STAAD.Pro Connect

    Good day. I was analyzing a model and designing the plates I made at STAAD.Pro Advanced Connect Edition 22.00.00.15. After the run analysis, the result gave the above notice on several plate elements I had. I modeled the plate elements using parametric…
  • Staadpro Plate element compression stiffness and Mz bending stiffness

    Hi everyone, I am modeling the below concrete structure in Staadpro using plate elements. The highlighted column is 1m deep x 0.5m width. I modeled this column using plate element as well. I defined the plate length as 1 m and I assigned a thickness…
  • Is it possible to rotate a series of plates at a specifed angle?

    I have a 400mm flat plate that I would like to "bend" 100mm from the bottom at an angle of 60 degrees. The highlighted portion of the plate is what I would like to bend. I am also using trapezoidal loading and am wondering how this might be affected…
  • STAAD Add Plate With More Than 4 Sides

    Hi, I have a 12 sided silo drawn in staad. I need to add a "roof" to it and tried using a plate but I can only create 3 and 4 sided plates. How do I create a 12 sided plate? Also, I need to model this silo at various levels (50% full, 75%, 90…
  • Axial tension from the plate results

    Dear Sir, I am confused while taking the results from the plate results If Sx = 426 kN/m2 and plate size of 0.25m x 0.25m of thickness 0.35m. To get the axial tension = 426 x 0.35 = 149.1kN/m is this correct or I have to multiple again by the…
  • Self Supported Arch roof analysis

    I want to analyse the roof structure for dead load, live load and wind load. I am confused about the direction of the loading on the plates. Can anyone give me some suggestion? Also How can i analyse the running beam that will carry the load? We use a…
  • STAAD ERROR MESSAGE

    Dear Sir/Sirs, Am new to STAAD Pro. I have designed an intake using plate model. Assigned loads. When i try to analyse following error appears. PRIMARY LOAD CASE CAN ONLY BE ADDED IF SET NL COMMAND IS USED. How can i rectify. Please help. …
  • Orientation of Local Axis of Surface Entity in STAAD.Pro V8i

    My query is regarding "surface" entity of STAAD.Pro V8i . The orientation shown through "Labels" tab of Structure Diagrams of "surface" entity is not matching with the orientation of Mx & My (Moments on their local axis faces) contours. The screen…
  • Parametric meshing - junction of two boundaries of the two model meshing

    Hi all in the attached model, it has been split into several boundaries within a outer boundary (this was done as the depth is different for each boundary. while using Parametric mesh and creating the adjacent boundary mesh, it was found that…
  • Shear stresses of the plate per unit length

    Question: How to get a shear force per unit length for plate element in STAAD.Pro? Answer : Shear Stresses of the plate are reported in [Force/ unit length/ thickness] units in STAAD.Pro. In order to get shear force per unit length, one has to multiply…
  • Re: Design of wood grid

    Hi, Chrish, ya, evrythng is well...as you was asking for the model i am going to attach the programme plz find it...and plz consider as per my points.. 1. first of all plz adjust the beta angle of ANGLES, it should be 90degree with plate…
  • Releasing plate elements from attached beams?

    Here's a situation that seems to come up frequently: I create a model in STAAD that includes a combination of linear elements (for things like beams, columns, etc.) and plate elements (to model surface elements like floors, roofs, etc.). When surface…
  • RE: Buckling analysis for plate members to EN 1993-1-6

    Hi I am working to Eurocode EN 1993-1-6 and I can see that I need to check for buckling Limit State I was wondering if the buckling analysis in STAAD giving the buckling factors are similar to the elastic critical buckling ratio r Rcr as defined…
  • Plate forces........

    Hi everybody Can anyone please tell me what is Mxy in a plate, If Mx and My are the moments in x and y direction respectively, but what is Mxy? hope this is not torsion for that plate. Can anyone please exlplain? - thanks for response
