Hello, I had a question regarding this simple circular tunnel model shown below. I have the following modeled to check the shear SQY. I know I'm missing something simple here so I hope I can get some help. L=100 ft (total longitudinal length)…

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

How does Moment distribution and release for beams work in STAAD Pro ? While designing Secondary Beams, I’m releasing the moments MX, MY, MZ to a 100% at their ends. if I keep the ends fixed, I get a hogging moment say ‘ X ’ kN-m at the ends. However…

Dear All, Currently i'm designing a gantry crane. 1. I have assigned the loading from Crab to the gantry beam as moving load (Shows in Red color), But i have no idea how to assign the loading (Shows in Green color) when gantry crane is moving along…

Does anybody designed Gantry crane using STAAD.Pro? Can anybody explain how can i assign whole surface of the rail on the ground as fixed? do i need to divide the rail in to small parts and assigned those nodes as fixed? or do i need to design Gantry…

Hello! I am new to ISM, and am experimenting with it as a central repository for Prostructures design and STAAD Engineering data. It seems to work at first attempt, but I am having an issue with materials. It seems that the mapping of materials from…

Question: How to get a shear force per unit length for plate element in STAAD.Pro? Answer : Shear Stresses of the plate are reported in [Force/ unit length/ thickness] units in STAAD.Pro. In order to get shear force per unit length, one has to multiply…
