    Design parameters not being considered in steel design

    Applies To
    Product(s): STAAD.Pro
    Version(s): ALL
    Environment: ALL
    Area: Design
    Subarea:
    Original Author: Sye Chakraborty, Bentley Technical Support Group

     

    I have defined a number of design parameters in my file but STAAD.Pro does not consider these for design. What could be the reason ?

     

    For the design parameters to be honored in the design process, these parameters should be located ahead of the design command in the input command file. The best way to check that would be to go to the input editor ( Edit > Edit Input Command File ) and check the order in which the commands are written. The following examples show the correct and incorrect locations for the design parameters

     

    Correct location for design parameters ahead of the design command ( CHECK CODE )

    …

    PARAMETER 1

    CODE AISC UNIFIED 2010

    METHOD ASD

    LY 5 MEMB 1 TO 10

    LZ 15 MEMB 1 TO 10

    UNT 5 MEMB 1 TO 10

    CHECK CODE ALL

    FINISH

     

    Incorrect location for design parameters after the design command ( CHECK CODE ) – design will not honor these

    …

    PARAMETER 1

    CODE AISC UNIFIED 2010

    METHOD ASD

    CHECK CODE ALL

    LY 5 MEMB 1 TO 10

    LZ 15 MEMB 1 TO 10

    UNT 5 MEMB 1 TO 10

    FINISH

    Although the above example relates to steel design and the US design code but the same is true for Concrete Design as well as ALL international design codes.
