i have created a user table for a square- ish shape with applied torque. the results do not show the torsional stress contours. nor is a 3d rendering available. how can i see the stress contours and the 3d rendering?

Merging nodal load case in RAM SS - Crane load
Hi Everyone,
I made nodal load cases for the crane load (nodal load type:other) in RAM modeler. Instead of moving load, I have included them as 4 static nodal load cases. After analysis, I have checked them to include in load combinations with other gravity loads in RAM Frame. But I don't see them in any of the auto generated load combinations. When I try to manually merge the nodal load case in load combinations, I see options for "load type: Seismic and wind", not for the "load type: other". What are my options to include the 4 crane load case with other load combinations?.
Thanks

Staad Node points always show
Staad Node points always show even when box is not checked. Is there something causing this that is known problem. Is there a workaround
Joist deflection
I am using LH joists in my model and I noticed that when I increase the depth of my joist, the deflection is increasing rather than decreasing. Has anyone had this issue? The loads and joist spacing were the same for all cases. Thanks
RAM SS Merging Nodal Loads
Hello,
I have a three story building with a rigid diaphragm on levels 2 and 3 (level 1 is ground). My roof is a metal deck and I want to analyze it as flexible.
I created my Nodal load cases labeled Roof-X and Roof-Y, both Seismic Load type.
I need to analyze the building with a Modal response or the Dynamic Load Case.
I want to combine my nodal loads with the Dynamic Load cases, but the Loads>Merge Load Cases is grayed out. I imagine this is because they are not both "Seismic".
How can I merge my nodal loads with the dynamic loading so that the brace frames are designed for both concurrently?
Thank you!!
Ram Connection Eccentricity
For a typical bolted, gusset to brace connection, there is a small eccentricity to the gusset plate. Is there a way to account for this in the overall gusset design?
Base plate in ram connection staad pro v8
I have a problem in my project. I use ram connection in staad pro V8 and designed baseplate and pedestal. the design status is ok my problem is why does the design check is blank on the results?please help ASAP.
Warnings
Hi Guys
I was trying to fix 3 things in the last couple of days. unfortunately, I could not fix all the problems, so I hope to get help ASAP.
the First problem that I had and I could fix is the warning that says "Review shear min density/max spacing Cl 9.7.6.2.2" I just increased the cross section area, then the warning did not appear. However, I would like to get comments about the solution that I made or other solutions.
the second problem is that after I removed all warning, I am still not getting design tab (after running the analysis) by double click on the member (the tab I am talking about is to the right of the deflection tab. THIS TAB IS NOT IN THE OUTPUT)
the third problem is that the take off command for the RCC building is not working even without any warning I am still getting 0 CU.meter.
Finally, I appreciate any help, and I can provide the input text if needed.
One Way Load - Not matching with the orientation of member assigned ?
Dear Colleagues,
I happened to open an STAAD file modeled using the previous version, but when opened in my CONNECT Edition 21.03.00.146, i noticed that ONE way loading diagram assigned to a set of beam's FLOOR group, diagram doesn't seem to match as planned (the visual representation); my concern is, if STAAD will apply as per the Loading diagram (or) as per the STAAD COMMAND LINE...
Would really appreciate, if anyone can throw some light on the topic...
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Is it possible in STAAD.Pro to output the mass associated with each node in a model?
ISM plugin Revit 2018 is not working.
Hello,
Good afternoon. I am new here.
We are trying to export a Revit model to Ram and see how much time we could save..
Any thoughts of why ISM plugin is not running?
Thanks.
Effects of Finer Plate Meshing
Hi all,
I am still verifying the effects of finer plate meshing so please bear with me.
I have two structures that have different meshing for the slab, one is using triangular plates (large) and the other one is using quadrilateral plates (small).
Comparing its results, they have a big difference in the beams (especially 4G2 group) that are connected with it. Mainly in Fx, Fy and Torsion moments.
For simplicity of comparisons, I just considered Load 2 which is Live load using uniform plate pressures.
Please help me understand why my beams are suffering the finer plate meshing when in fact it helps the beam in terms of rigidity.
Hoping for your kind explanation.
Attached here are both the two files I have been comparing.

Thanks in advance
Negative reaction result while analysis for transportation cases
Dears,
i was having a problem while do the transportation analysis for module. by putting 4 supports, it should be give around the same reaction since the multiwheel is located at the centre of the module (also confirmed by manual check). but, it just appear the negative results at one supports and this condition makes me confused while the deflection and the stress is still below the allowable one.
is anybody here ever faces the same problem? thanks for your help.
Thanks & Regards,
