Hello everyone, I have a question about the bi-axial bending and torsion calculations in StaadPro based on EC3. I designed a beam (RHS) subjected to bi-axial bending and torsion. I am comparing my hand calculations with Staad pro unity check but…

Hello, I attach my Staad model for your attention. I am wondering why the plane I have cut does not give any values for Fx, Fy and Fxy? Also I cannot obtain a number of the outputs from the cutting plane such as global moment etc? I am looking…

Hello all, For any of you that might be interested to know how you can design complex connections that are not covered by the codes, you are more than welcome to follow our webinar tomorrow for IDEA StatiCa, a unique software that links with STAAD.Pro…

Hi. In STAAD, major axis is Z-Z and minor is Y-Y. However, in EC3, it's the other way around. With this, I wish to have confirmation and ask what are the significant parameters to consider about the difference in sign conventions when doing STAAD…

Hi I am designing unique steel structures for the offshore industry, mostly with box sections. In the old days we have used the Norvegian code check - NS3472, together with prismatic sections and everything worked fine. Today we must use EuroCode…

PLS HELP I JUST DOWNLOADED STAAD PRO V8I SSV6 .....45 AND THE INTERFACE IS VERY ATTRACTIVE BUT THAT'S BY THE WAY. I SERIOUSLY WANT TO USE IT TO DESIGN AN URGENT CONCRETE JOB AND I CANT FIND BS8110 CODE NEITHER CAN I SEE EURO CODE FROM MY CURRENT DEFAULT…
