Hi, How to master slave a point with the points that result from a mesh of a surface? The model was created at physical model. Should I drop the physical model in order the analysis to continue? After this, the loads should be transfered to the beam…

Hello, I would like to model the same stack shown in fig and check it for wind and seismic loadings. Can you please guide me through step by step procedure to do so? Ravikant

Hi, I have already meshed the plate, but as you can see in the image below, the surface of the partial plate pressure load that I want to apply (within the four points) does not match the meshing of the plate. Is it possible to apply this pressure load…

Hello, Is there a way to apply a linear distributed load directly on a plate without having to create a beam with physical properties for the load to be applied? For example, along the distance of 9,701m shown in the image below. Thanks in advance…

Hello, Could any of the members advice how you can model settlements in slab-on-grade within STAAD ? Thanks, Shivam

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, When running the analysis for a concrete plate supported on elastic supports and a nodal load in the center of it, the following "error" appears: Does anybody know what is wrong? Thank you in advance, Ignacio

Hello, How can I change the default settings in both physical and analytical modeling, in order to define the mesh grid size of a plate? 0,3m x 0,3m; 0,2m x 0,2m; etc (e.g.) Thank you. Ignacio

Hello. STAAD gives this error yet the joint number is created in the JOINT COORDINATES command, as shown below: Therefore, I am not sure why I am getting this error: Another thing - At the start of the model, I get the following errors and I…

Good day, I would like to query a few observations relating to the 'results along line' plate layout. As a preamble to these queries, the model in question has been built using plate elements to form the shear walls and beam elements to form the moment…

Hello, I am using Staad Pro Advanced Connect Edition. I am trying to analyse a plate with multiple holes. To accomplish this task I am using the structure wizard module for polygonal plate with holes under surface or plate models. I have successfully…

Hello. I have STAAD model of structure in which I am using beam and plate element. I am using wind load generator to apply wind on beam and plate. But loads on plate is not generated. It is generated only on beams. Advise for how to apply wind load…

How to assign parameters like compressive strength (FC) and Clear Cover etc. to plate elements.

I'm modeling of a building, which consists of 140000 concrete plate elements. I want to assign thickness to all plates, but it's impossible. Even if I asign numbers of plates to thickness in std editor, staad "forgets" that. Maybe model consists…

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…
