Dear All, Could anyone help me to delete existing primary load cases in openstaad ? because every time I do the analysis, loads repeat instead of replacing the previous load case. Here is my code: Sub GenerateModel() Dim cx(1) As Double Dim cy…

Hi all, I am trying to delete existing load cases - primary and combinations from an existing file using openstaad . But there are no functions to delete the existing load cases, can anyone tell me how to do this in openstaad . Thanks

Hi Everyone, What command can I use to clear everything in the STAAD file using OpenSTAAD.

HELLO EVERYONE, MY QUESTION IS WHEN I COMPARE TWO MODELS ONE WITH OFFSET COMMAND AND THE OTHER WITHOUT OFFSET AND IN BOTH MODELS I M GETTING DIFFERENT RESULTS WHY??? 1.0 Steel requirement in the top column is less in the offset model as compared to…

Dear friends, How can I overwrite loads (or any other properties) using OpenSTAAD, every time I edit something and run my script new loads are added. Thanks in advance.

Dear Friends, The script below is for a very simple model (single member). I'm trying to assign a steel tapered section (200 5 800 150 10 150 10), but I'm facing some troubles. Could you help me with the script? Sub GenerateModel() Dim cx(1…

Dear friends, Could you help with this error, please? Thanks

Dear friends, STAAD Pro reads only the moment at the element start point to design tapered steel section elements. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm using footing support (Y direction and compression only). I have notice that it only work with some load cases (gravity) by not lateral load cases. Could you please take a look at the model and tell me what is the problem. thanks: …

Hi everyone, It is very weird that I am getting different utilization factors every time I run the analysis (The software picks different forces values at the tapered element) and for some reason, all sections have the same utilization value. Could…

Hi all, could you help me figure out why I do not see the effect of the tension only spring that I'm using in this simple model? STAAD SPACE START JOB INFORMATION ENGINEER DATE 12-Oct-21 END JOB INFORMATION INPUT WIDTH 79 SET NL 3 UNIT METER KN…

Dear sir, kindly find the staad file and please correct it including notional loads as an example so everyone can take advantage from this staad file . kindly add notional loads and generate combination. use direct analysis method with p delta…

Steel Shed_Viscose Line 5_V11std (3).STD Can anyone,please able to pass these failed beams,if yes then,please let me know(if by adding top and bottom plate etc)

I am designing a continuous one way slab using plate elements and dummy beams with the moving load generator. The reason I'm using plates instead of beams is because I want the wheel loads to spread through the width of the slab instead of concentrating…

Dear sir/admin, I have few questions that I really need to know. 1. Why we dont apply uniform member load in dynamic analysis? 2. It seems we are only providing floor load, does it mean that we have to convert member load to equivalent floor load…

Hello, Please find the staad file and clarify the following: 1. Why there is a difference value shown in statics check results. The loads and reactions must be equal and opposite. There might be slight difference as the analysis type is Direct analysis…

I need to use two set of mass values (weight to calculate separate time period and frequency) for empty and operating condition for Piperack *** process structures supporting heavy liquid filled drum. Normally, when I enter seismic mass in the first…

Even in Staad CE Wind loads are still generated using ASCE code. Also, a number of videos are floating around on youtube explained by people who are not at all subject matter experts.

I have given the clear cover to be 25mm in beams and 40mm for columns as per Indian Code. Further, I can see from the design output I can see from the design report that the clear cover is 35mm even though I have given 25mm in the input for the beams…

I have attached a picture of a plan where a clear head room without beams is to be provided. G+3 building with common portal frame. I am unable to assign floor loads as there is no closed boundary.

Sir, In the stability analysis verification examples, are the formulae used in manul calculation included 1. Member deformations, 2. Second order effects, 3. Notional loads and 4. Reduced EI ? In the staad files, in DAM definition, only FYLD parameter…

I'm Designing a Two-way solid slab (Slab on beams) from Staad pro to RCDC. What is the Imposed Load of RCDC? Does it mean the self-weight of a slab or Floor Finishing load?
