Hi, I have the following metal grating and I need to apply a surface weight load of 0.06 kN / m2 to it. This load corresponds to the weight of some panels that will be fixed to the metal structure. The load is applied in the direction of the Y axis…

Hi. I recently got access to the student license of STAAD Pro. It was working well until last few days. The application is not starting. Below given screen appears and then there is no further movement in the loading. I tried re-installing the application…

Hi all Iam trying to analyse a combined footing using plate element in staad. I have modelled pedestals and applied load. But the bending moment profile is not matching with the theoritical calculations i.e., at support from the cantilever projection…

Dear Sir, For Load Case 4, used in both staad model (attached herewith) with all the parameters same but different method of Seismic Analysis shows different value of vertical forces. Dynamic Method.STD Static Method.STD (Please use Importance…

in the Staad Pro manual it says the following about Area, One Way and Floor loads: G. 15.3 Area, One-way, and Floor Loads The following assumptions are made while transferring the area/floor load to member load: The member load is assumed…

Good day, Can someone help me to fix this problem?

Hello, I had a question regarding this simple circular tunnel model shown below. I have the following modeled to check the shear SQY. I know I'm missing something simple here so I hope I can get some help. L=100 ft (total longitudinal length)…

Hello Everyone Please share with me the tutorials about a combined footings

I'm designing a concrete slab in STAAD. AT the end of the file, I have the following and would like to define the cover as 2.6": START CONCRETE DESIGN CODE ACI 2011 UNIT INCHES KIP FYMAIN 60 ALL FC 4.5 ALL DESIGN ELEMENT ALL CLB 2.6 ALL CLT 2.6 ALL…

Hi, Is it possible to perform a buckling analysis on a concrete column in STAAD pro? If so, how is it done? Thanks in advance! Ignacio

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?

I am trying to create an polygonal opening in a surface using parametric modelling approach but I am getting only one edge division along the edge of the opening. The divisions along the edge cannot be modified even if I set the divisions to a definite…

Dear sir, I am doing the analysis of cable but the reactions are coming with an extreme value like 66kn along x. There is no any weight on the cable only self-weight is considered. Kindly explain to me why reactions are so conservative. Also, guide…

How do I change Mton/Cm to Kn/m

We have developed an in house application linking staad.pro application to extract the “member end forces” for the selected members. And, we have been using this tool since last few years. Recently, After we updating the staad.pro-V8i application to…

Good day, I am currently working on a portal frame. when i apply the snow load on it. it gives me 0. but when o make it flat it gives me result. this is when i model it as a flat roof. this is when i model it as a portal frame. 0 reaction

Hi, The following image corresponds to the moment diagram (local Mx) of a concrete plate, supported on elastic supports and with a nodal load in the center. As you can see, I can only visualize half of the diagram. This happens to me for all diagram…

Hi, I have modeled symmetry structure in staad pro with symmetry loading but beam no:17 alone fails and have more unity ratio why?? i have attached model for reference below.../ 3162.rack.std

Hi Im modelling a three hinged truss in StaadProv8i for completion of our school requirements. The problem is, we should model a steel truss without failed section before new year starts. But after I run analysis, the output shows some failure beams…

Hi Guys, Why are assigning both self weight and pressure loads on plates elements for building slab ?

Hello, I have assign 3 connection in to one joint, i know we can generate drawings for each connection by double clicking it. But i want to know hence this is a one Joint, can i generate all the connection drawing in the joint?
