I am working on a platform structure, Which is located on the vessel the height from base is approximately 2.5m I have assigned the seismic forces using the seismic definition option from staad but the forces are not getting assigned correctly, If I visualize…

We are wondering what method / programs you use to analyze and design structural supports for Cantilever Overhead Sign Structures (COSS). Do you use STAAD.Pro to generate COSS models? What engineering codes are used in your country? See videos below for…

I am trying to model a single larger precast column that basically gets split in order to support a steel truss on one side and a precast column with a moment frame on the other. How would you recommend we model this condition? My best idea would be…

I am working on a G+2 public steel building, after modeling I am unable to assign the load on LL.acn anybody rectifies this problem? all the loads assigned are done by old v8i staad pro , but in connect edition this load is not working properly. in the…

Hi everyone , Could anyone please describe me that what is the meaning of the triangle shaped red line in model and what is the purpose of this function?

I am working on a structure that has a flooring system of 3/4" concrete board spanning between cold-form metal joists at 16" O.C. The joists span up to 20' between wide-flange moment and braced frames. In an effort to simplify the modeling for this multi…

Dear Team Bentley, I have a curious question to ask regarding Member Size in Properties for Tapered Sections. My queries as below: 1. Why STAAD show Tapered Section with 1,2,3 etc. instead of Member Sizes like (d1-d2)xtw+2*(b1-b2)xtf1/tf2 like this…

Is it possible to increase the bottom flange thickness on STAAD. this is a measure for and adequacy check

PDF Dear communities, Please provide me the solution or method to design & analysis the STEPPED column. For the reference, I have attached the pdf file, please check it & provide me the solution. Thank you.

If I were to model a steel pontoon, which supports should I assign to represent the uplift force from the buoyancy in respect to seawater? Thank you.

MEM length - 6 m Stiff plate in yellow color at 1.5m interval So shld i give Lz -1.5m or Ly-1.5 Kindly explain me briefly Thank you

Steel_Design_Optimizing_M_Intermediate_1_AISC_360-16.STD Steel_Design_Optimizing_M_Intermediate_1._IS800-2007 LSD.STD Why I am getting "Fail" results after using optimization process of commands?; even selecting Ratio 0.9 initially, e.g look into…

Hell All, I want to know can i provide Seismic Definition & Wind Definition through OpenSTAAD? I want to avoid errors done by my team members while providing definition during loading on structural steel, hence want to make VB based Macro in Staad…

How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building? I have a steel building and i need to analyse to analyse the building for a change of 32deg F. My lateral system for the building is BRB's, so I need to check if my temperature deflections…

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…

I am designing an industrial shed. Can I enclose the shed all from the four sides up to the lowest purlin. I have analyzed this shed on staad.pro and its OK as per ASD design methodology under wind loads. I have heard that it is important to give gap…

How can I create a brace for two stories? I have a model which has a half story. I want my braces goes all the way to the beam at the top and doesn't stop at mid story. Is there a way to do this in RAM structural?

I want to manually design the plinth beam for a steel structure and extract the loads from staad which loads shall i consider? i have 3 critical cases and pinned footings so i have Fx Fy Fz ,how to take them as a load for manually designing the…
