Hello, I would like to model the same stack shown in fig and check it for wind and seismic loadings. Can you please guide me through step by step procedure to do so? Ravikant

I have attached my STAAD 3D model with a moving load generator which when run is giving me an warning message. The warning message reads "No Members in specified Vertical Range". The moving load is being applied to level and straight beams. Top Module…

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

Hi everyone, I am modelling concrete tunnel rings with an opening. The rings are connected by shear dowels that supposed to have a shear capacity up to 300kN. I have a few questions regarding the modelling technique of this structure. I have modelled…

How can I hide members for printing different views? For example, I have a truss bridge model and I want to print schematic views to be used for field inspection, and I want a view of the top chords only (highlighted in red in the attached photos), but…

I am analysing an RCC box girder for which some peculiar tapered sections have to be created. I created a tapered rectangular section in AutoCAD 2014. I used polyline to create the 2D and then extruded it to make it a solid 3D section. Now when I import…

Hello, help deal with the problem. After aerotriangulation, most of the photos were not determined. In the Acquisition Report writes that: disconnected photos - 60%. In the Surveys tab, writes that the photo is not calibrated. And this problem concerns…

Hola; Necesito saber si es posible generar barras según las define el reglamento CIRSOC 301, como Itipo Grupo IV y Grupo V en RAM, como se ven en la imagen del link. https://www.google.com.ar/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjp8…

Model Description:Hopper Supported over Steel frame Structure Questions 1.Directly Applied the hopper capacity load on the top upper member is this assumption right??(Hopper capacity/1 bay area) this is distributed over beam as member load via manual…

Dear Colleagues, Having seen STAAD developed / revamped ever since v2003 (the first version I had my hands on) till the CONNECT Edition; was wondering if we can also have a 3D Dimensioning Tool (without altering the current dimensioning Tool), wherein…

I am modeling a bike trail with switchbacks and would like to create a point control that ties into the edge of trail that is part of the same corridor. When creating the point control the corridor is not listed as an option in the dropdown. What is the…

Hello All, I am new to OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition. I am looking into minor grading of Basins and Channel. I am having issues with change my elements elevation. I have tried profile by constant elevation with no luck. Any one have some input…

I create models from aerial photos taken from a fixed wing or helicopter. Most of my projects are buildings or small rectangular areas and I normally fly in a circle and shoot overlapping oblique images focusing on a point in the centre of the area. I…

Hello all, How do I get this ugly orange to be a concrete color. I already went to utilities > libraries and can't seem to change the color. I already selected my Concrete deck, so I don't understand why it is orange. Thank you.

I am working in ORD - SS4 and designing an intersection of two corridors. I set null-point triggers in my template to control the display of certain components and created a template drop for the mainline corridor. For the secondary corridor, with it…

Hi all, I created ContextCapture project from my old laptop. Then I installed the software in a new laptop and tried to load the project. But I was greeted by error message of "Failed to read project file". Please help

Hello all, I am fairly new to OpenRoads and would like to create a workspace (on my local drive) because OpenRoads is slow while using projectwise. Also, for some reason I do not have the program data folder in my C drive. If there is a helpful…

For a mat foundation 5 feet deep, would making Cross Section Trimming to none for this option be accurate when modeling. I want to apply a distributed RF along the top and bottom of footing at a certain spacing. For the properties what should I…

Hello, I have had some 3-D models recently with a good amount of corridors and template drops. We put our horizontal and vertical alignments in one file and then create the 3-D model in a separate file. In the past, if a change was made to the horizontal…

Has anyone had any experience with Placing ORD geometry points in 3D along a alignment, where the Elevation is taken from the Vertical design. I can get the points to place along the alignment at set intervals at a specified elevation but not taking…

Dear all, I am relatively new to STAAD Pro. I have been able to model my building frame in reinforced concrete as well as some roof trusses in steel sections including Zed purlins. I have 3 issues: 1) how to model roof loading to transfer roof loads…

I am using microstation v8i ss4. I have created keyframes for animating (making the man model walk). After setting the keyframes for movement of hands and legs, when I am defining the Actor path and orientation it is showing the following error. Can anybody…

Dear Respected colleagues, as you can see from the attached images, i need help in modeling the true behavior of my pier system as shown in the 3D view. Since one pier is very stiff in transverse direction, there should be no deflection of any sorts but…

I am new to STAAD pro connect. I need some help on how to model a steel transition cap shown in the attached photo. The cap consists of two top and bottom plates separated by cylindrical section. There are 24 gussets attached to the outer perimeter of…

I am modeling a somewhat irregular building site with a sizeable hillside and a building set into it to some extent. I have been facing some difficulties where contour lines (created as bslpline curves.) intersect the walls at a right angle. Strange anomalies…
