Problem Description

User table sections when defined using the graphic user interface are getting written in the input command file with a UNIT command within the user table definition block as shown next 

...

START USER TABLE

TABLE 1

UNIT INCHES KIP

GENERAL

TEST1

1112.25 80 0 47 0 995062 89512 27715.6 23232.6 3809.02 525.421 550.813 -

30641.9 7257.83 8.04422e+07 80

END 

Subsequently the software is incorrectly reading all the properties in meter units. This is resulting in incorrect properties being considered for the analysis and design and also incorrect display of the structure in 3D.

Workaround

Open the STAAD.Pro command file in the editor and move the UNIT INCHES KIP command in the user table definition so that it comes just before the START USER TABLE line, as shown below

...

UNIT INCHES KIP

START USER TABLE

TABLE 1

GENERAL

TEST1

1112.25 80 0 47 0 995062 89512 27715.6 23232.6 3809.02 525.421 550.813 -

30641.9 7257.83 8.04422e+07 80

END 

Once the data is Saved from within the editor, the file should work without any problem.

Solution

The problem has been addressed in the STAAD.Pro Connect Edition version 22.00.00.15.
