1.0 In staad why I am getting more reinforcement in top column (See bemm no. 76 & 77) see the attached model. 2.0 What parameter need to use so that reduction factor is not considered in design calculation because as per is 1893-2016 it is only use…

Dear All, Could anyone help me to delete existing primary load cases in openstaad ? because every time I do the analysis, loads repeat instead of replacing the previous load case. Here is my code: Sub GenerateModel() Dim cx(1) As Double Dim cy…

Dear All, It has been so long since I first asked this question with no answer. Is there any way to delete existing load cases in openstaad or at least clear STAAD editor? because every time I do the analysis, loads repeat instead of replacing the previous…

Hi Everyone, What command can I use to clear everything in the STAAD file using OpenSTAAD.

HELLO EVERYONE, MY QUESTION IS WHEN I COMPARE TWO MODELS ONE WITH OFFSET COMMAND AND THE OTHER WITHOUT OFFSET AND IN BOTH MODELS I M GETTING DIFFERENT RESULTS WHY??? 1.0 Steel requirement in the top column is less in the offset model as compared to…

Dear Friends, The script below is for a very simple model (single member). I'm trying to assign a steel tapered section (200 5 800 150 10 150 10), but I'm facing some troubles. Could you help me with the script? Sub GenerateModel() Dim cx(1…

IF THE ORIENTATION OF THE AXIS LIKE SHOWN IN THE FIGURE THEN MX REPRESENTS THE VERTICAL MOMENT AND MY HORIZONTAL AM I RIGHT OR WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME.

Hi, I have a question regarding column deflection and sway in STAAD. The below picture shows the deformed shape of a column subjected to lateral forces in a frame. I know the maximum sway/drift in STAAD is gotten from the node displacement value (translation…

Hi there, please I am working on a steel frame design that includes OWSJ in the model. I have tried various forms of releases for the joist members like assigning truss parameter to the diagonals and verticals, releasing moments at the ends etc. but when…

Why am I facing this issue again and again?? APPROACH BRIDGE CHURHAT.STD

Hi there, I'm modelling a steel frame in STAAD and looking to include c channel girts in the model. The girts (red lines) are to be located on the front face of the column with wall panels (green line) attached as shown below. I plan on using meshed…

Hi everyone, As you know steel connection design in STAAD pro Advanced CONNECT doesn't accept built-up sections for some types of connections (for instance, Cap plate). In order to go around that, I have tried to modify the hot-rolled section database…

Dear friends, STAAD Pro reads only the moment at the element start point to design tapered steel section elements. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm using footing support (Y direction and compression only). I have notice that it only work with some load cases (gravity) by not lateral load cases. Could you please take a look at the model and tell me what is the problem. thanks: …

I know WT are from W-shape beams, but is there a way to change how they labelled in Staad Pro? Example WT4x9 shows as W8x18 when reviewing model. Unless you double click to check member before it shows W8x18Tee. Also when you create the member for the…

Hi everyone, It is very weird that I am getting different utilization factors every time I run the analysis (The software picks different forces values at the tapered element) and for some reason, all sections have the same utilization value. Could…

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IS SEISMIC -H AND SEISMIC -V??? IF I M RIGHT H FOR HORIZONTAL AND V FOR VERTICAL. NOW MY 2ND QUESTION IS WHEN WE NEED TO CONSIDER SEISMIC- H AND WHEN WE NEED TO CONSIDER SEISMIC -V CASES????

WHAT HAPPENED WITH ANALYSIS DON'T KNOW??? OHT 1000 KL INTZR1.STD

Why is such kind of loading diagram shown when I apply floor load.

in the above four images, 2 images show the two different types of arrangement of the beam and the rest two show the bending moment diagram for both arrangements. My question is as we know the positive moment indicates the support moment and the negative…
