• Repeat load command giving wrong result

    Hi, I was trying to do P-delta analysis in STAAD. However, I noticed that giving REPEAT LOAD command instead of adding load combinations is giving me wrong results. For instance, the deflection at a particular node is 130mm in seismic X direction…

  • SLAB LOAD COMBINATIONS ARE NOT LOADED IN RCDC

    Hello, I have modeled a wall that rests on a slab on four beams and when going to the RCDC I do not see the option of being able to load the slab with the load combination created in STAAD, which is, by the way: All I see in RCDC is this: Instead, as…
  • Wrong Loading Combination for Beam Optimization

    I am working on a two story steel building and am experiencing issues with the beam optimization. RAM is currently using a loading combination for some beams, displayed below, that is not the maximum loading so the beams are designed too small. Instead…
  • FAIL TO GENERATE A LOAD COMBINATION - DEFINE COMBINATION

    Hello, I am in trouble trying to generate a load combination between self-weight loads of a structure and moving loads on that same structure. When I select the option "add new load cases > define combination", this is all I see: As can be seen…
