STAAD Foundation Advanced Data Input Window

August 16, 2018, 4:59 pm

Refer screen capture, this is a reoccurring temperamental issue. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Mainly affects the Meshing Setup pane and the Create New Job pane. I have no scroll bar so cannot go down to access the missing part of the window.

Its becoming a huge problem for me, I cannot enter data into the model, hence it renders the software useless. I am so nervous about using this software in case this happens as it has already resulted in missing crucial deadlines. None of my other software is affected, only Bentley software which makes me think the issue is at their end.

All I can do is repeatedly reboot my computer and eventually it works, sometimes after 1 re-boot, sometimes after 10 re-boots.I have also tried docking and un-docking the window, I have tried changing screen resolutions and settings. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.

This issue has already been lodged as a service request, I don't think any of the Bentley "experts" have any idea on how to fix the issue, keeps going into the "too hard" basket.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so have you found a fix?

Section size in staad are bigger as compared to manual calculated sections

August 17, 2018, 8:40 am

Hello,

I have a doubt regarding the design procedure that is applied by Staad.

The standard sections that satisfies the unity check are large sections while for the same loading cases if I calculate manually the required member section size is very small as compared to the one that satisfys the untiy check requirement in STAAD Pro.

I expected the manual calculated section to pass for unity check in postprocessing mode, but instead i had to increase the standard section size in order to satisfy the unity check requirements.

I have attached my model input editor file and the manual calculation for a sample beam of 7.5m for the mezzonian floor.

communities.bentley.com/.../3157.0181.STAAD-input-editer-file.docx

As you can see from the calculation the Plastic modulus required for selecting the section was obtained 696.2 cm3, while the section that satisfies the unity check in STAAD required a section with plastic modulus of 4150 cm3, ( UB 533x312x150 )

Hope those information are sufficient for checking my model.

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Ibrahim Shabbir

Diseño de purlins

I try to design in a separate model, the wall purlins and, when I do not consider the contribution of the wall panel as a result of the design I get a very unfavorable "CF" section.
however, when modeling the wall panel connected to the purlins, I get a much smaller section.
I am sending the Staad Editor so they can review it and correct me if my consideration is incorrect.

I hope for your collaboration, thank you very much

I have a large model created using the physical modeler. I turned the load values "on" in the view toolbar and the program crashed. When I re-opened it my physical model had disappeared. The analytical model appears to be there still, although not updated, and the command file is still accurate as far as I can tell. But there is no information shown in the physical modeler. No visual model, no nodes/members/surfaces in the tables or anything. How do I get my model back?

Beam offsets

Is there an easier way to offset floor members so that the top of steel is the same elevation that is required for structural drawings?  With all of the different depths of members within the same depth category plus shallow members, can I extrapolate the elevations of nodes plus beams with corresponding nodes so that they are at the same level?  There are other programs that do this but so far I have not found a solution to this problem for STAAD.  This would be most helpful for our drafters who have to present 3D models to the customer with TOS elevation being on par with reality.  The only thing I can offer them is TOS is center line of beam and with a complex, multi sized members per floor, model I cannot provide to them that.  I have tried to create a spreadsheet to help me with this but it is to complex to even begin with. I tagged the version in the Tags portion below this box but here is the version anyways, 20.07.11.70.

Dear Sir,

Kindly check the attached system. there are two columns of tube and two beams connected with them having minor loads on them. 

For columns i applied k value=2 and for beams effective length is considered full.

Slenderness value is more than 200 for columns.

can we say this system is safe as compression load on the column is very less than its compression capacity regardless slenderness is more than 200.

Kindly confirm this system is safe or not as this system is only for aesthetic look.staad file is attached.communities.bentley.com/.../aldar.std

Thanks.

What is the reason and there is any plan to reintroduce it?

It is very disappointing to remove such a useful tool that used to be available before Bentley took ownership of MSTower/ Engineering Systems.

At least it should be removed from the Menu and Manual because it is misleading when purchasing the software, it does not do what it says...

Modelling springs as columns in ram concept

Hi All, 

I am unable to import spring nodes into my model so I have modelled 7,200 columns as springs in my mat foundation analysis. Is there a way to make the columns I modelled as compression only, as I see some are columns are in tension, and you won't get that in a soil spring? Or alternatively is there a method where I can mass import point springs from spreadsheet format? 

Thanks

Jimmy.

Hi all.

I have quick question about online support for Staad Pro connect edition. I need help with following problems.

I created model in Physical Modeling with load group. For the first group I used selfweight + pressure on the slab. For second group a used wind load. Then I used Analytical model and I created Load Cases Detail  (I used the way from Bentley Learn).  After analysis  I have warning - selfweight is less than total weight of all.

Please see attached image. Thoughts please? 

Many thanks

STAAD Foundation Advanced Resisting Forces

For an isolated foundation under the ASCE 7-10 Load Case for 0.6DL + 0.6W, does STAAD Foundation Advanced apply the 0.6 DL factor to the resisting weight/overburden of the foundation.  It appears to me that it does not.

I know that in the profession, there is some discussion as to whether this factor applies to the superstructure reaction alone or to both the superstructure reaction and the resisting weight of the foundation.  Which does STAAD Foundation Advanced use?

Error During Analytical Model Creation

I'm getting the error "invalid plate nodes count" when trying to update my analytical model from the physical modeler.

I went through the work around suggested in the wiki here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/36496/error-when-trying-to-create-analytical-model-from-the-physical-model

And the suggestions given in my previous post here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/158457/error-during-analytical-model-creation

When I moved the two files to my local hard drive it seemed to work ok until I noticed it was stuck at the "meshing model" phase. I left it running for over 40 minutes and it never got any farther.

When I hit cancel the whole program crashed and I had to "end task" from the task manager. I'm getting so many errors and issues, is my model just too big for STAAD to handle? Or am I doing something wrong somehow?

I will upload the two separate models via the file share site shortly.

What is load list for?

Dear All:

I am fresh of STAAD. I have a quick question. I saw the .std file has commands inside like "JOINT COORDINATES", "MEMBER PROPERTY", "MEMBER LOAD" etc. May I ask where I can find the explanation of the meaning of each command.

Also, for a quick question, I saw "LOAD LIST" under "PERFORM ANALYSIS". I think the number under "LOAD LIST" represents for each Load combination defined in the STAAD. So is the load combinations under "LOAD LIST" used for the check of the members? If I don't put the load combination number under "LOAD LIST", then that load combination will not be used for checking the member for the design?

Thank you very much.
