  • STAAD Pro units

    I am currently using STAAD Pro V8i (SELCET series 4) 20.07.09.31. I'd like to use SI units with AISC code. when i ran the same model as i ran it on the prevoius version, it gives me the result (in steel design tab) in Imperial units instead of SI units…
  • RE: RAM SS - Reinforcement in Shear Walls

    There are two things you can do regarding units and bar diameters. To change the units just go to Ram Manager - Criteria - Units. To change the Rebar table go to Criteria - Concrete Tables and pick a metric form of the Reinforcement table.

  • Structural Synchronizer / units

    When using Metric/MK units, Structural synchronizer is using wrong units for compressive strength and specified elastic moduls. [kg/cm^2] is no valid units for those properties, it should be [kN/cm^2] or something like that.
  • Re: Staad(X) units

    Seems like Staad(X) is linked even more to US settings than Staad.pro is (if we forget the fact, that it isn't using Windows settings for decimal delimiters, but needs the point). no non-US codes available non-US units settings apparently don…

  • Structural synchronizer / wrong units conversion

    When setting units to SI, Structural Synchronizer converts units wrong for compressive strength. (Well, could be I've defined concrete with Fck = 35 MPa, Fck_cub = 45 MPa compressive strength in Staad.X. Structural Synchronizer shows 241.3 MPa.
