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…

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?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Actually i need all members UC Ratio values. How to get all values???? Please guys guide me New folder (2).rar

Gents, today i'm working on pipe/tubular section in my model. to check the ratio in analysis, i'm using API code, but for non tubular section, i use AISC 9th Ed. however, i have some question regarding API code. (i use STAAD Pro v8i SELECT 4 20…

I have a model for which I am using parameter command to carry out seperate Strength & Deflection check. However when I check the utilisation it shows it being critical for deflection, however the utilisation for strength is more critical but has been…

As per the title, how do I get Staad to analyse a connection as a pinned joint?

Hello, I built a simple truss model in Staad pro V8i. I am wondering whether there is a way to extract elemental stiffness matrix in global coordinate? I can access global stiffness matrix by enter SET PRINT STFFINESS in the basic solver. Is there any…

Hello I am using Staad Pro v8i. I am designing a building with multiple frames and bays. I have added point loads at each node for every floor. After running fine for 2-3 times; Staad modifies the input file in such a way that the same load is applied…

I have a model that is 3-D (space) and I have applied a selfweight load only in the downward direction. I get deflection in the y direction, but why do I get deflection in the x and z directions as well?

Section 5.20.3 states that "f 1 (Depth of section at start node) should always be greater than f 3 (Depth of section at end node)." In the model I am working in, it makes more sense for me to define my members from left to right which results in some…

Hello As part of my project I had been going through some examples as shown on the verification manual of Staad Pro v8i and version 2007. However, I been having issues with some of the examples as some do not show the full detail of calculation description…

There has been a new QA&R posting of STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTSeries 1 (build 20.07.06.35) on the Bentley SELECT server that addresses a number of issues which were not addressed in build 20.07.06.34 released on 18th March 2010. The additional issues addressed…

I recently tried the feature of generating the properties of a built-up section by using the "Tools / Create user table / Add new property" then checking the "Define Profile Polygon" and inputting the perimeter points. I was able to generate the cross…

After running analysis, the Staad Output didn't inform me of instabilities in the any joint. In the post-processing mode I clicked on nodes-instabilties and noticed that I had two nodes that were unstable. I have attached the model. I believe my releases…
