  • STAAD ERROR MESSAGE

    Dear Sir/Sirs, Am new to STAAD Pro. I have designed an intake using plate model. Assigned loads. When i try to analyse following error appears. PRIMARY LOAD CASE CAN ONLY BE ADDED IF SET NL COMMAND IS USED. How can i rectify. Please help. …
  • Shear stresses of the plate per unit length

    Question: How to get a shear force per unit length for plate element in STAAD.Pro? Answer : Shear Stresses of the plate are reported in [Force/ unit length/ thickness] units in STAAD.Pro. In order to get shear force per unit length, one has to multiply…
  • 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…
  • PLATE ELEMENT MODELLING

    im doing a mat foundation design and use plate elements in my model. at first i did the plate elements in MIDAS because its much easier for me to model the plates there.so i printed out the nodes and plates from MIDAS and paste it in staad editor. …
