am working on a VBA coding from excel to STAAD
Before Select server 6 update the following VBA used to run staad file from the excel
After the update this command is not working. Can somebody help me out on that.
cmnd = "C:\SProV8i SS6\STAAD\SProStaad\sprostaad.exe /s" & filepath
Shell "CMD /c" & cmnd
Hi all,
where i can download Openstadd??
See web page below for more details about this issue:
Updating to RAM Elements v13.05.00.227 will resolve the problem.
The nodes in my model are not visible as the typical blue dots. Others in my office can open this same model and see the nodes. I have tried various visibility options, and can't get them to turn on. It is making it very difficult to work in Elements.
The following wiki should answer your question
The easiest way to move the seismic load is to open up the editor ( Edit > Edit Input Command File ) and move the two seismic load cases 7 and 8 ahead of the load case 1.
You have applied member release MX. Releases are applied with respect to the member local axis. So a release MX essentially means that the member is allowed to rotate about it’s own axis which is not that common. If you want moment releases about major and minor axes, you should release MY and MZ instead as shown next
MEMBER RELEASE
420 421 423 426 429 430 435 TO 438 447 TO 450 459 TO 461 469 470 475 TO 477 -
478 START MY MZ
However if you release the moments at the bases of the columns at the top floor, your structure is going to be unstable against lateral loads resulting in huge displacements. So you should either consider the bases as fixed or should consider adding braces to increase the lateral stiffness. For now I have commented out the releases. Even with the column bases fixed, the displacements in your model are quite high and you should definitely check on that and make changes to your structure, specially the top portion.
Also as Andrej has pointed out, you have a block of member load command that is not within any load case. You may want to move that under the appropriate load case. For now I have commented the block out.

OpenSTAAD gets installed as part of STAAD.Pro itself.

Hello Bentley i have a problem with the staad foundation advance, i have the version 7.2 and i design a mat foundation. the situation is i run the analysis and when is finally the analysis all the result show 0 value.
When designing concrete beam elements in RAM Elements, how are the following items accounted for:
1. Reducing moments to face of supports
2. Reducing shear to d distance from the support
3. How are T-sections modeled? I went through the sections but did not see any T-sections.
4. How are long term effects accounted for in beam deflection (creep, etc)?
I looked through RAM Elements manual but it does not really address any of these items. Thanks for the help.
