  • No member loaded for floor load generation?

    Sir I have modelled and applied the loads in the staad interface the loads are applying but after the analysis in the output I'm getting warning that no member is loaded for the floor load generation! I have thoroughly checked the duplicate nodes,orphan…
  • Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    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…
  • Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

  • STAAD error message: Exception [Access violation] Raised! Aborting analysis...

    Hi, I have a large STAAD model file for a linear analysis of a space frame. I have used the INACTIVE MEMBER/PERFORM ANALYSIS/CHANGE commands to sequence the framing as the loading is applied. When I run the analysis I get an error message stating…
  • Fatigue Analysis

    Hello, Is there any way that i can perform Fatigue analysis for steel member in STAAD.Pro? Thank you in advance
  • UC Ratio problem

    warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys
  • Print Section forces of members

    Hello, I have done a beam analysis and the shear at the middle is excactly 0. When i use " SECTION 0.5 MEMB 1" the results are okay. That means in the output file "shear y" is 0 at position 0.5. But when i use SECTION command with 2 or 3 positions…
  • Error while importing dxf to section wizard in Staad Pro from AutoCAD

    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…
  • how to get the loadings details in report????

    I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?
  • Releasing plate elements from attached beams?

    Here's a situation that seems to come up frequently: I create a model in STAAD that includes a combination of linear elements (for things like beams, columns, etc.) and plate elements (to model surface elements like floors, roofs, etc.). When surface…

  • STAAD UBC Loads with Design Groups and Select Optimize

    I am trying to select optimize but keep coming up with the same error "Only 1 UBC Case can be solved in a tension/compression analysis". I have perform analysis change after each seismic load and it ran fine before I tried to optimize the members. Does…
  • ISM Material Mapping

    Hello! I am new to ISM, and am experimenting with it as a central repository for Prostructures design and STAAD Engineering data. It seems to work at first attempt, but I am having an issue with materials. It seems that the mapping of materials from…
  • Tension force in a tank wall

    I have modelled a rectangular concrete tank in STAAD using plate elements and need to do some additional calculations to check the crack widths do not exceed a given value. I can get a contour plot of the bending moments in the walls but when the tank…
  • large rotational displacement

    When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…
  • How to model Vibration of Machine

    Dear All, I want to ask about the vibration of machine. As far as I know, we need to input as sine function. Am I right? I assumed the weight of machine is 110 kN and assumed that 10% of weight will be placed as the vibration. I use…
