STAAD Meshing: AutoMeshing & Meshing Alternatives
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…
RE: plate vs solid element
You should use the overall dimension of structure as opposed to using the length of each element. So if your plan dimension is 20mx20m the least plan dimension is 20m. If the thickness is 1 m then least plan dimension/thickness = 20/1 =20 > 10 and so…
Solids, Plates and Members
I recently encountered problems combining solids and plates all in one file. The problem was in inputting physical properties for these types. STAAD manual prescribed a way to overcome this, but I couldn't get around it. Can someone post a command sequence…
