    STAAD.Pro Developing The Model [FAQ]

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): STAAD.Pro
      Version(s): All
      Environment:  N/A
      Area:  Modeling & Analysis
      Subarea:  N/A

    1. Is it possible to quickly find out the total number of nodes & beams in a model ?
    2. How do I stop the Auto Save screen from appearing over and over again in Staad.Pro?
    3. How can I define a built up section whose cross section shape is not that of any standard rolled section?
    4. I am trying to cut a rectangular hole in an arbitrary triangular region in space which has been meshed with plates. Is there a way to orient the construction grid (for the "snap node/plate" feature) to align with three pre-defined nodes (i.e. the corners of the triangle) to simplify removal of the rectangular feature inside? The angle of the triangle is very odd and I am concerned about the nodes defining the rectangle being slightly out of plane if I try to set the construction grid manually based on the coordinates and angle of the triangle.
    5. One issue that I have encountered is that if I go into the load function and realize that I have the wrong units specified, I cannot change the units by going back to the geometry menus and selecting the correct units to use. When I enter the loading menus again, the units have not changed. Is there another way to change the units once you enter the loading functions
    6. Foundation Support Requires Giving the Subgrade Modulus and Supply a Direction
    7. View Selected Objects Only
    8. No Closed Polygon Found to Fill in with Plates
    9. Viewing Individual Floors
    10. Accessing STAAD.Pro Online Help
    11. Converting Single Line Input to Multiline
    12. Apply Pressure Loading on Plates
    13. User Defined Grid System
    14. Applied Selfweight is More Than Total Weight of All Structural Elements 
    15. Braces Carry Lateral Loads Only
    16. Limitation on Number of Plates
    17. Assigning Offsets to Plate Elements
    18. Splitting Continuous Beams
    19. W Shape Table what does Ct Stand For
    20. Duplicated Nodes Warning
    21. Is a Plate Diaphragm - Flexible Diaphragm or Rigid Diaphragm
    22. Make Tool Tips Visible
