• Floor load generation

    Kindly refer to the model attached and reference pictures. For FLOOR LOADS created under REFERENCE LOADS I am getting "WARNING- NO MEMBERS LOADED FOR A FLOOR LOAD GENERATION." However, in the GUI the same panel is indicated as loaded for the load…

  • STAAD support displacement with reference loads

    Could someone explain why I am able to run an analysis with a SUPPORT DISPLACEMENT load applied to a PINNED support when I place that SUPPORT DISPLACEMENT load in a REFERENCE LOAD? Normally you can't apply a SUPPORT DISPLACEMENT load on a PINNED support…

  • Reference Load is not supporting Hydrostatic Plate loads.

    I am not able to assign Hydrostatic Plate loads in the Reference Load Definitions load cases. I am using STAAD Pro V8i(SELECT series 4) 20.07.09.21

  • RE: REFERENCE LOAD

    Your conclusions are correct. Regarding your doubts, here are the responses 1. Seismic weight for static seismic analysis won't be calculated by itself and have to be separately defined? No. When you define a mass type reference load, you DO NOT need…

    Dear Members, I read several posts on reference load and even Tech Notes http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/4014 But still have some doubts. I am writing here some…

  • RE: Reference loads for seismic mass in response spectrum analysis

    Assuming that you are NOT using Reference Loads, you only need to define the mass as part of the first response spectrum load case. The second and third response spectrum cases should only contain the spectra. If you specify masses as part of the second…

  • RE: "Reference Load Y" in seismic definition

    The "Y" in the expression "REFERENCE LOAD Y" has a specific meaning and purpose as explained below. As you wrote, the command you are specifying is REFERENCE LOAD Y R1 1.0 This tells the program that seismic weights are to be created using the load items…
