• How to model Vibration of Machine

    Dear All, I want to ask about the vibration of machine. As far as I know, we need to input as sine function. Am I right? I assumed the weight of machine is 110 kN and assumed that 10% of weight will be placed as the vibration. I use…
  • International Design Codes in STAAD.Pro v8i

    Hello, I am wondering how to use the international design codes in STAAD.Pro v8i. On the start-up screen, American codes are selected with a green dot. I need to use Asian codes. When I select Asian codes, a red dot appears next to it. Is there…
  • Re: No results in the Beam Graphs

    Answer: The graph does not show any results as Mz, Fy and Fx forces are all 0 in all members on your structure (see the Beam End Forces table in the Forces vertical page). Only My and Fz forces are being developed in the structure, so My and Fz graphs…
  • STAAD Error No. 41: Not enough memory

  • Pier or Wharf Push-over with multi-linear spring supports

    Can Staad Pro v8i do a push-over analysis of a frame that includes multi-linear spring supports? The structure in question is a pier or wharf that is supported on vertical piles. The lateral load is entirely resisted by the piles. During push-over…
  • Tapered Members

    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…
  • Re: SELECT ALL for AISC 14th Ed.

    The introduction of the new version of the AISC 360 code represents an important step in the development of STAAD design codes. One of the main requests we have had over the years is to provide more detail of the design rather than the brief summary of…
