  • OpenSTAAD - Switched Bending Moment Forces Output?

    I was trying to update an old OpenSTAAD excel macro so that it can run on the latest STAAD.Pro CONNECT edition. While I was trying to extract maximum bending moment member forces I found that the syntax that should've extract max moment comes back with…
  • How to model opening in rcc wall of water tank

    I am modeling a digester with a opening in the wall In the model plates near the opening (plate no: 8632,3026 and other plates around opening ) have abnormal Mx moments along the local x axis of the plate and also there directions are reversed is it…
  • Moment Frame and Ordinary Frame Deflections in STAAD

    Hello, I have designed a platform stair system in STAAD PRO and I am analyzing the effects of using Moment Frame and or Ordinary Frames in it. I have attached 2 models here - One pertaining to Moment Frame (With no releases in platform members) and…
  • Why is the Plate and beam moment sign does not change with pressure load direction?

    Good Day, I am just new to Staad Pro so Kindly explain to me in very preliminary way, This is simple Slab of 350mm thickness Supported by beam of 350x350mm on four sides supported by pinned supports an uniform pressure load of 100kN/m2 is applied…

    Good day, I am new in staad, can someone help me with my question? my question is how to get the maximum moments and deflection of each beams in staad? what load cases to be consider? I am planning to design beams manually and I am planning to get the…
  • STAAD showing 2 different unity check values.

    Hello, I have a STAAD code which is a simple beam design with loads and I was doing steel design. On performing design I got the results of beam unity check to be 0.74 (Actual Ratio). But on double clicking the beam and then going to Steel Design Section…
  • RC Designer - Concrete Slab - Change of range of design moment

    Hello there, I am using RC designer under concrete design in STAAD Pro connect edition. While, I am plotting design bending moment in it, I am not able to modify color and limits for different color. In other word, I would like to modify contours of…
  • Torsion Fails

    Hi! I have a fail when designing beams with torsor. On the attached file, please could you check beams: 94, 95, 96, 194, 195, 200, 201, 206, 207?? It should be oversized, but appliying EuroCode, the ratio is up to 13! I supose I should consider some…

    I am new in staad pro so please answer this question in very easy language....! What is use of solid Geometry In Staad Pro.?
  • Moment Diagrams + to - rather than - to -

    Is there anything I can do to change the moments at each ends of the beam to (- to -) without eliminating the column or making the span longer? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris
  • Warning : length to depth ratio for members is less than 2.5 and ENSH (1 )parameter doesnot able to remove the warnings

    Hi, i am Hitesh, i am designing a Rest house, since i have provided large number of conceal beams which resulted in subdivision of main beam between columns into small span sub beams. therfore i am getting which warning L/D ratio is less than 2.5. i have…
  • Plate Global Moments and Wood Armer

    Hi, I think this has been covered in other questions but I just wanted to obtain some clarification... when undertaking plate analysis, does the global X and Y moments take into account the XY local component? I am undertaking the design of a large…
