  • Area of Steel Reqd. for Tran. Moment for Load Case ____ exceeds the Maximum Allowable for Element # ______ - STAAD.Pro Connect

    Good day. I was analyzing a model and designing the plates I made at STAAD.Pro Advanced Connect Edition 22.00.00.15. After the run analysis, the result gave the above notice on several plate elements I had. I modeled the plate elements using parametric…

    Hello All, I got a ** WARNING ** A STIFF MATERIAL WITH 1.108E+01 TIMES THE STIFFNESS OF STEEL ENTERED. PLEASE CHECK. What does it mean? How to clear this warning? Thanks in advance.
  • Plate Mesh Command

    Is there a command to mesh a plate without using the interface (for automation purposes) ?
  • PLATE STRESS AT TOP AND BOTTOM SIDE

    Good morning, I have to make question about STAAD Pro output plate stress ; in particular, I'm going to make a post processor excel file aimed to design concrete reinforcement of a slab according to ACI Code. Is It possible, for each shell, to obtain…
  • Problem modelling plates on top of beams for elevated steel water tank

    I am trying to model a Elevated steel water tank with bracing for analysis in STAAD.Pro. While modelling the structure I've encountered a problem and would like your help. The problem is: While the beam offset works perfectly for modelling a beam…
  • Plate Girder Bridge - Neutral Axis to Calculate Moment at Midspan

    Please see the attached STAAD model as a reference. I am modeling a bridge with four 72" deep plate girders + 10" thick concrete deck on top. I have modeled everything using plate elements and I'm in the process of calculating the midspan moments due…
  • How to model Property for Structural Roof Deck Diaphragm

    I am trying to accurately model a gable roof with a structural metal roof deck that acts as a diaphragm. Ultimately, I'd like to take forces from my STAAD model to design the structural metal roof deck diaphragm. I only want to consider metal roof deck…
  • Floor Diaphragm, Composite Deck and Plate element

    1. Does STAAD.Pro consider the Floor Diaphragm Action (transfer of lateral forces to the columns) when the Composite Deck feature is applied? 2. Considering the Floor Diaphragm Action, can i use plate elements instead of Master/Slave or Floor Diaphragm…
  • mat foundation with pedestal - 2D and 3D elements - staad help

    I was just trying to analyze a mat foundation with 5 pedestal on it. Some pedestals are square in shape and others are octogonal. I modelled the mat using plate element with thinkness of 0.5m. (plate element with 4 nodes) pedestals modelled as beam…
