If I'm modeling a building addition that has one side not exposed to wind pressure, how do I make sure that no wind is applied to that face in RAM Frame? I was considering not attaching my semi rigid diaphragm to the deck edge on that side, but I'm not…

I have a stadium project that I'm designing that has a cantilevered roof of approximately 23'. Gravity loading is easily accounted for, but my concern - especially with the large cantilever - is what wind loading is RAM Frame applying. I believe that…

Dear fellow users, I am trying to design in STAAD a BOX FRAME for a structure. This box frame has an intermediate (smaller) restraint beam which helps for stability. When running the analysis with the necessary loads, it seems that this intermediate beam…
