Hi, I was trying to do P-delta analysis in STAAD. However, I noticed that giving REPEAT LOAD command instead of adding load combinations is giving me wrong results. For instance, the deflection at a particular node is 130mm in seismic X direction…

Join me this month for the AutoPIPE Coffee Corner session to learn about load combinations in AutoPIPE, including load case definition and selection for static analysis sets. AutoPIPE - Load Cases and Combinations December 1, 2022 | 01:00 P.M. EDT Register…

Hi, I want to define my own set of load combinations. How do I add more load combinations?

I'm using STAAD.Pro Script Editor and OpenSTAAD library to generate a structural model. Unfortunately,t he OpenSTAAD function (OSLoadUI::CreateLoadEnvelop) that should allow creating load envelopes is not working properly. Question: Is Bentley Software…

Hello, I have modeled a wall that rests on a slab on four beams and when going to the RCDC I do not see the option of being able to load the slab with the load combination created in STAAD, which is, by the way: All I see in RCDC is this: Instead, as…

I am working on a two story steel building and am experiencing issues with the beam optimization. RAM is currently using a loading combination for some beams, displayed below, that is not the maximum loading so the beams are designed too small. Instead…

Hello, I am in trouble trying to generate a load combination between self-weight loads of a structure and moving loads on that same structure. When I select the option "add new load cases > define combination", this is all I see: As can be seen…

is it possible to analyze with Staad for REPEAT LOAD as it is not possible to do with Load Combination?

Dear Colleagues, Say if I have to apply wind on all the four sides (+x / +z / -x / -z) of an irregular structure/geometry, is it okay to consider only 2 positive cases (+x / +z) as Basic Load Case and generate 4 load combinations with 2 positive and…

Hi, I have a building with two orthogonal braced frame intersecting, which makes one of the column forms both lateral system in the orthogonal direction. Per ASCE 7-10, section 12.5.3.a, Orthogonal Combination Procedure shall apply (see figure 1 below…

i am currently designing an irrigation channel which requires application of compression springs along with seismic loads. i have defined seismic loads first (load no. 4). i have used repeat load cases to combine all the loads. In summary, i can see…

Dear sir, After defining load combination; I have to developed Envelop. for that which combination I use for Serviceability& which for Strength. please confirm me load combination for both.

How can I determine which load combination relates to a specific design envelope?
