Cracked Section Factors in RAM Modeler
Hi all, this post is almost entirely directed at the Bentley folks, because I want to make sure that RAM SS has been updated to take into account the cracked section factor on slabs as I would assume. From previous emails with Bentley I was informed that…
Application of grating dead load on Structure without considering its stiffness.
Hi,
I'm currently working on a model that requires grating on work platforms.
For that purpose, I've calculated the equivalent density of the grating applied to a 1mm plate.
The reason to have it in 1mm plates is because I only want the effect…
Model dome in StaadPro
Anyone can help me to model a dome 100 m base diameter and 60 m high, in StaadPro v8i?
StaadPro provides a spherical shape, but the height must be equal to base diameter.
So basically, how to change height?
Inclined Load Path due to Member Offset at one Node
Dear Staad Experts,
Attached is a simple Joist with tapered ends. For making the model as close to the real application as possible I have applied a "OFFSET" so as to achieve the top flange straight, due to this the NA has become slanting for the…
wide column modelling in staad
anyone know how to model a wide column -beams junction for a concrete building . and how to add floor load for the area.please help me, thanks in adavance
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.

RAM SS - Wall transfer
I'm modeling with RAM Structural System v14.06. I know that it is possible to have a column supported by a diaphragm. Is it possible to have a wall supported by a diaphragm and transferred through the (thick) slab to an offset wall below?
STAAD PRO: How to model an equipment with a single node in the CoG and transfer loads to other nodes
Hallo everyone and thank you in advance for the help and the advices you will give me!!
I'm a new STAAD PRO user, I have modeled a 3 floors beam structure, on the top floor of this structure there is a filter house. The structure is loaded by some…

Thanks for your kind support. my earlier problem is solved now i came up with new problem. could u please help us. we assigned few members in our model STANDARD Circular hollow sections (CHS) european Its shows section Invalid. for ex. we assigned…
Re: LATERAL LOADING ON PLATES IN STAADPRO
(sorry repost)
Hi, thx a lot for your tutorial. I find a bit problem. First I create model and input the hydrostatic load and it's Ok. But then I create another model and input the hydrostatic load
And there's a bit problem..
at the top slab…

Combatibilty Issues between STAAD PRO V8i SELECT SERIES 4 and STAAD OFFSHORE.
dear friends,
we are facing big combatibilty issues between STAAD PRO & STAAD OFFSHORE. some of the use facilities available in staad pro is not at all regonized by STAAD OFFSHORE. Because of this combatibility issues we are facing lots of problem…
RAM SS - Grids
In RAM Structural System v14.06, is it possible to copy a grid system to a new grid system so that the new grid system can be modified and still keep the old grid system? This would be helpful for projects that go through many revisions where you don…

RAM Modeler
I am a new user to the RAM products. Our office develops our drawings in AutoCAD 2013, so I developed a (2-D) Roof Framing Plan in AutoCAD and imported it into RAM Modeler as a DXF. I followed the example…
How to model two parallel beams sitting one on top of the other beam?
I am designing a steel structure where I need to model one beam sitting on top of another beam (parallel, i.e. bottom flange of top beam sitting on the top flange of of bottom beam for its full length). How to model this system. If I model them between…
Re: Offset Column
I have attached another modelling Structure 3 .
It's same as structure 2 (from General option) but I don't use offset.
I think if I use offset it will be incorrect because without offset the column has already connect to the beam even the extrude…
Offset Column
Hi SIr,
I have made 2 modelling compare the offset function of column L-shaped.
The column at modelling 1 is made from Angle at Create User Table.
The column at modelling 2 is made from General at Create User Table.
The resulted moment…
Re: LATERAL LOADING ON PLATES IN STAADPRO
Hi Sir, I find a bit problem. First I create model and input the hydrostatic load and it's Ok. But then I create another model and input the hydrostatic load and there's a bit problem.. at the top slab (last slab, triangle-shaped load) it didn't show…
Lumped mass on a node
Goodevening everybody,
I wish someone can help me: how can I insert a lumped mass on a node in order to apply forces and accelerations directly on the mass? If it's possible, please, explain me how to do it from the GUI and not from the input command…
Tensile Strength Ratio (Rt) and Yield Strength Ratio (Ry)
Hi,
When editing a material, say Steel, what is the meaning of Yield Strength Ratio (Ry) and Tensile Strength Ratio (Rt)?
By default on Steel Ry = 1.5 and Rt = 1.2, and its zero for Stainless Steel, Aluminium or Concrete.
I'd welcome any assistance…
