1. Why does the program give some strange numbers when the joints are generated graphically by e.g. copying. We enter a number that has no decimals (7.00m) and in the input file the coordinate is 7.0001.
2. When I use the Node Dimensioning Tool (Tools | Display Node to Node Dimension), how can I turn off just one dimension line rather than all of them with the Remove Node Dimension option?
3. I am trying to model a beam connecting to the flange of a column instead of at the center. How is this modeled?
4. How to model Pile cap attached to batter and vertical piles in STAAD.Pro?
5. In the new 3D rendered window, how can I view the structure in plan, elevation and isometric view like I can with the other windows? Also, how do I pan across the model?
6. When I save a file from the STAAD.Pro GUI, the joint coordinate data and member incidence data are written into the .std file in such a manner that there are several entries per line, separated by semi-colons. I would like it to be written in a way that the joint coordinate data is written as one joint per line and the member incidence data is written as one member per line. Is there some setting in the program to facilitate this?
7. Can you please tell me how to transfer data from EXCEL to STAAD-PRO?
8. How do I graphically display the distance between two nodes?
9. I have a rather large frame building consisting of several floors. I want to look at individual floors by themselves without the rest of the structure cluttering up the view. Can you tell me how to do that?
10. How do I access online help in STAAD.Pro? The F1 key does not bring up any help screens.
11. How can I convert single line input to multiple line input? The program currently converts my joint coordinate and member incidence data from multiple line to single line input.
12. Plate Error - Badly Shaped, Warped, Not Convex, or Not Numbered Counter-Clockwise
13. STAAD.Pro fails to run the analysis
14. STAAD.Pro File Extensions
