• Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    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…
  • Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?
  • Lumped mass on a node

    Goodevening everybody, I wish someone can help me: how can I insert a lumped mass on a node in order to apply forces and accelerations directly on the mass? If it's possible, please, explain me how to do it from the GUI and not from the input command…
  • Tensile Strength Ratio (Rt) and Yield Strength Ratio (Ry)

    Hi, When editing a material, say Steel, what is the meaning of Yield Strength Ratio (Ry) and Tensile Strength Ratio (Rt)? By default on Steel Ry = 1.5 and Rt = 1.2, and its zero for Stainless Steel, Aluminium or Concrete. I'd welcome any assistance…

  • Application of grating dead load on Structure without considering its stiffness.

    Hi, I'm currently working on a model that requires grating on work platforms. For that purpose, I've calculated the equivalent density of the grating applied to a 1mm plate. The reason to have it in 1mm plates is because I only want the effect…
  • Re: STAAD PRO: How to model an equipment with a single node in the CoG and transfer loads to other nodes

    Thank you for the link AndrejLogunov, so can I set the master/slave nodes only from the input command file? Is it possilbe to set the master/slave nodes from the user interface instead of the command file? I have no plates, I have only the beam structure…
  • Tension Only member with initial axial capacity

    Hello to all, In reality horizontal braces (or vertical brace, beam, etc) that is design for tension only resist "some" axial compression capacity. Is there a way that this axial compression capacity can be input in STAAD? For example, a horizontal…
