• Ram Elements FE Beam

    I am analyzing an existing monorail (S-section) as a series of shell (plate) elements in RE. I have pin supported nodes at the top flange with crane wheel node loads on the bottom flange. I have a couple questions about this approach: 1) Is the general…

  • Allowable Bearing Strength for Concrete

    Hi, I was wondering what if I'd check a concrete pad to be laydown in an existing slab(suspended) thru finite element method? There will be no anchoring of rebar from existing to new pad, based on the drawing, just concrete epoxy in between What allowable…

  • Results along line - plate analysis results

    Good day, I would like to query a few observations relating to the 'results along line' plate layout. As a preamble to these queries, the model in question has been built using plate elements to form the shear walls and beam elements to form the moment…

  • Solid Element analysis Stress Summary

    Dear Folks, I am using Solid Elements for analysis & design block foundation for machine. As I understood from various literature that Sxx, Syy, Szz are normal stresses in the Global X, Y, Z directions respectively. The negative value would mean compressive…

  • Concrete slab modelling with triangular plates

    Hi, I am looking to understand how the design moments and shears are to be calculated when using triangular plates for concrete slab analysis. For triangular plates the results are reported wrt the local plate axes. The 'Global moments' are also available…

  • Featured LEARN Course: Modeling Finite Elements

    Users of Bentley’s STAAD.Pro software wanting to learn techniques for modeling finite elements will want to take advantage of Bentley’s training course called “ Modeling Finite Elements ” In this course, you will learn how to take advantage of STAAD…

  • Re: STAAD Pro: How to apply PARTIAL PRESSURE load to a Slab/Wall entity with a transfering this load to its boundary members?

    Another problem: The Contour Type of Enhanced Fill includes spots. I wonder why an If this is caused by the surface mesh size which is too fine. I do not know how to increase the mesh size of the surface to an appropriately acceptable size. In the image…

  • STAAD.Pro 2007 Build 03 Available July 11

    Build 03 of STAAD.Pro 2007 will be available on Bentley SELECT servers tomorrow, July 11. This update includes 22 new features and 115 additional updates. See here for some more info on some of these new features.

  • Post-processing of models using solid elements

    My question is related to STAADPRO. I'm searching for a feature of StaadPro (that might not exist) that would allow the evaluation of the forces present in a cross-section comprising more solid elements. For example, imagine a solid model representing…

  • Parametric meshing - junction of two boundaries of the two model meshing

    Hi all in the attached model, it has been split into several boundaries within a outer boundary (this was done as the depth is different for each boundary. while using Parametric mesh and creating the adjacent boundary mesh, it was found that…

  • Finite Element Analysis of Odd Shaped Lifting Ring - STAAD Pro V8i

    I am working on modeling an odd shaped lifting ring for a client. Does anyone know of an example for the development of a finite element model of a lifting ring (the cross section of the ring is a round steel bar) for STAAD Pro V8i? I am not familiar…

  • Timber design to Eurocode 5?

    Hey, I am new to this forum but have a quick question to ask about the FEA side of STAAD.Pro. is it possible to either design a member to Eurocode 5 (Timber design) or to design it to no particular code and just get a reading for the internal stresses…

  • Cracked Section Factors in RAM Modeler

    Hi all, this post is almost entirely directed at the Bentley folks, because I want to make sure that RAM SS has been updated to take into account the cracked section factor on slabs as I would assume. From previous emails with Bentley I was informed that…

  • FEA 2 Way Concrete Slab

    I am currently modeling a 2 way slab in STAAD.Pro and I was wondering if anyone new of a good way to verify the validity of the model. Thanks, Hillary
