Problem Description

The COMPRESSION ONLY attribute is being removed from the ELASTIC MAT/PLATE MAT supports when saving using the GUI.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a file with ELASTIC or PLATE MAT support with the words PRINT COMPRESSION at the end.
2. Save the file using the graphic user interface or do a Save As
3. Note that the word COMPRESSION is deleted from the end of the command line.

Before Saving :

SUPPORTS

…

403 TO 433 ELASTIC MAT DIRECT YONLY SUBGRADE 12000 PRINT COMPRESSION

 

 

After saving the file using the GUI

SUPPORTS

…

403 TO 433 ELASTIC MAT DIRECT YONLY SUBGRADE 12000 PRINT

Workaround

It has been observed that if the PRINT command is not there, this problem does not happen. So as a temporary workaround please remove the PRINT command as shown next

SUPPORTS

…

403 TO 433 ELASTIC MAT DIRECT YONLY SUBGRADE 12000 COMPRESSION

Saving the file using the GUI or doing a Save As should work fine now.

 

Solution

Will be addressed in the STAAD.Pro Connect Edition expected in summer of 2017
