Hello, I am doing a dynamic analysis of an experimental work which include couple of lines I could not understand . Any one can explain what does those highlighted parts in the attached image mean?

Dear all, I would like to model a tank and to calculate the anchoring loads. I would like to include my hydrostatic pressure inside my tank to have a more realistic model. What type of primary load should I put for this load please ? I tried dead…

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…

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?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

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?

Actually i need all members UC Ratio values. How to get all values???? Please guys guide me New folder (2).rar

I was wondering if there was a way to get the maximum allowable load reaction to a column? I.e. an envelope for a certain set of load combos (allowable), not all the ones inputted? The only enveloping feature I have found is in the "Generate Report…

Hi there, can you please describe how to update the Staad Pro V8i SS6 to the latest build? I am struggling to do so. Many company PC's require the latest software to be consistent. Thanks a lot

Hello, I built a simple truss model in Staad pro V8i. I am wondering whether there is a way to extract elemental stiffness matrix in global coordinate? I can access global stiffness matrix by enter SET PRINT STFFINESS in the basic solver. Is there any…

Dear friends In Staad offshore we have option to include gravity load effect by clicking Gravity tilt. My question is can we able to consider Gravity tilt for few load case included and few load cases excluding gravity tilt. when i tried its either…

AISC has recently come out in support of IFC as the preferred method for model data exchange (Reference "The New AISC Interoperability Strategy"; Modern Steel Construction, November 2011). Will IFC be interoperable with ISM? How does Bentley plan to…

After running analysis, the Staad Output didn't inform me of instabilities in the any joint. In the post-processing mode I clicked on nodes-instabilties and noticed that I had two nodes that were unstable. I have attached the model. I believe my releases…

Gents, today i'm working on pipe/tubular section in my model. to check the ratio in analysis, i'm using API code, but for non tubular section, i use AISC 9th Ed. however, i have some question regarding API code. (i use STAAD Pro v8i SELECT 4 20…

I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base. I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings. I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes. However, every time I try to run the steel…

While trying to design a model which is all steel members, the following error pops up; SteelCollection.dll not registered. I have included a snipping of the error window. Any help would be great. Regards, Scott

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…
