Analysis of a fixed beam

Can you let us know the build of the program you are running? You can find the same from Help>About STAAD Pro.

 It wll be shown as 20.07.xx.xx

It shows Build 01 pls see attached screen shot

Don't use that command for inputing concentrated force on members...instead, add nodes where u want to have the concentrated loads, for instance in you rmodel, add one node in the middle of the beam and utilise nodal load to apply force....i've got the same problem when i started using Staadpro...this has been going wrong for a while...

Cheers Baongo!

But I think what u suggest is one way out. but isnt that something wrong in the widely accepted and used software! Like i believe staad analysis to be good unless i found this problem. not yet sure if it is just the graphical problem or implications are there in design also. didnt go that deep!!

My friend...I dont think it is just the graphical problem...i've found some design issues also. Anyway, software is finally just the product of human work so flaw is something inevitable...the more we dig deeper the more mistakes we would point out...but i can't deny the fact that Staadpro is currently the most reliable software i ever used...just keep ur eyes opened while using it.

I agree! Good to talk to u baongo. well, as mentioned now, they state its just a graphical problem.

cheers!
