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…

I have a 400mm flat plate that I would like to "bend" 100mm from the bottom at an angle of 60 degrees. The highlighted portion of the plate is what I would like to bend. I am also using trapezoidal loading and am wondering how this might be affected…

Hello, When running the analysis for a concrete plate supported on elastic supports and a nodal load in the center of it, the following "error" appears: Does anybody know what is wrong? Thank you in advance, Ignacio

Hello, How can I change the default settings in both physical and analytical modeling, in order to define the mesh grid size of a plate? 0,3m x 0,3m; 0,2m x 0,2m; etc (e.g.) Thank you. Ignacio

Good day! I have encountered this warning lately, "**WARNING-CHECK INFLUENCE AREAS FOR ZERO OR LARGE AREAS." Please advise. I'd check the geometry several times, but the warning always occurs. Thanks!

Dear Staad community. I'm having some problems to model a wall with a sloped beam, basically, I need to reshape some plates to match the sloped beam but I'm been unable to do it. Unfortunately, I'm not so savvy with plate modeling therefore, I hope…

Is there an easy way to create a cone shaped plate in STAAD? The structure wizard has a spherical shape, but I don't see an easy way to make a cone.

I'm modeling a 3 stringer short span timber bridge in staad. The model consists of the three beams and deck planks (which are modeled as Plates). All geometry, material properties, supporting, and loading have been assigned. There is only one error in…

I'm modeling a short span timber bridge in STAAD, and using plates to model the deck planks. How do I assign either timber or user defined material properties? Also, should I insert nodes at all places I want a deck plane and define a plate there? …

Here's a situation that seems to come up frequently: I create a model in STAAD that includes a combination of linear elements (for things like beams, columns, etc.) and plate elements (to model surface elements like floors, roofs, etc.). When surface…

I am modeling a very wide slab (120' x 30') simply supported on two long opposite edges. It would have been a simple one way slab but it has two edge beams on the shorter (30') edges. The slab is 20" deep and the edge beams are 29" deep x 18" wide. I…

Hi, I'm modeling a structure that consists of a series of concrete columns spreaded on the perimeter of a rectangular shape building, and attached to a channel concrete caps that running on top of perimeter columns, then the channel beam is connected…
