Is there any way (such as programing cut lines into the input file/saving your cut lines) to not lose cut lines after making modifications to the model and re running the analysis? I found a post about this two years ago and I'm not sure if any enhancements…

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?

How to create a cantilever slab without beams in the Physical modeler in STAAD connect edition?

After analysis i need to modify the geometry of one member. If i need this modification i will lose the cut lines created with results along line tool. I'd like to find a way to not lose the cutting lines after making the modify and relaunching the analysis…

I am trying to model a Elevated steel water tank with bracing for analysis in STAAD.Pro. While modelling the structure I've encountered a problem and would like your help. The problem is: While the beam offset works perfectly for modelling a beam…

Hi All, I work in an industry where i need to model a lot of industrial ductwork i.e. plates with structural beam members and stiffeners supported in numerous ways... See Below... With that said, typically when i model plate work in STAAD i…

I am aware that code checks are not carried out for user defined plates. For this reason I tried to use the pre-loaded Dutch plate/strip profiles, thinking that the program would know it is a flat and use the appropriate section of the code to calculate…

Good day Everyone, I wish to design a shear wall manually (by hand) using the output from my analysis in staad. Therefore I modeled the shear wall using plates rather than the surface option, however I find it quite difficult to get useful values…

I am trying to compare the vertical reaction I am getting in piles of an abutment of a 15m span railway bridge with manual calculation. I have modeled the abutment but the reaction I am getting is not representing the actual scenario. I am getting warnings…

I'm modeling a 3 stringer short span timber bridge in staad. The model consists of the three beams and deck planks (which are modeled as Plates). All geometry, material properties, supporting, and loading have been assigned. There is only one error in…

I am designing a bottom ash hopper. They want to model the hopper as plate elements and apply normal as well as tangential pressures on plates due to stored ash. i have calculated the pressure at different depths and have applied the normal pressures…

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…

I am performing a dynamic analysis (Response Spectrum) for a Structure with 2 basement levels. I have some queries regarding the use of STAAD commands to model the soil - structure interaction. Results of static and dynamic analysis are…
