Hi, There is currently a bug in v13.07.00.187 of RAM Connection Standalone - I'm designing using NZS3404. If the "End connection type" is set to "Slotted with Forked plates" the option to set the "Weld length on brace" is not visible. My current…

I would like to report that the option for CFT Restraint is not working in the AISI design module. In the design report the unbraced length remains the length of the member after CFT Restraint is checked and the member capacity is correspondingly reduced…

Hi all, I am having a hard time understanding the results that the Tilt-up module gives me for Pu values. For a 40 ft high wall with a width of 20 ft and a thickness of 8 inches, I expect to get the self-weight contribution as: 40 ft x 20 ft x 8/12…

STAAD.Pro ver. 22.04.00.40 ” The correct Cw (Warping constant) value is not assigned by the members ” I modeled all these members in the GUI. Other than PG(Plate Girder), I used American Property, and created User table about PG. Here, I compared…

While trying to design a model which is all steel members, the following error pops up; SteelCollection.dll not registered. I have included a snipping of the error window. Any help would be great. Regards, Scott

When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…

Good morning I have been using V8i for about a month now and have come across a few bugs that have proved to be very annoying and I am curious if other users have experienced similar problems. Here is a short list of some of the things I have noticed…

Hi all I am checking a tubular member to API-RP2A-WSD and wanted to do the following: 1. Beam 2 ALL Calculate moments at 1/12th points and at each end along the beam and use the maximum Mz locatio for design. 2. TRACK 2 ALL This is for…

The design loads for joists with tapered loads such as for snow drifts is not being computed correctly. See the attached for example. In the example the design dead load is 116.0, the design live load is 219.3 and the total load is shown as 2239.3?? This…
