“An advanced non-linear cable analysis cannot be used with a dynamic loading like response spectrum. If you have a response spectrum loading, you may only use a linear PERFORM ANALYSIS. If your loads are applied as static loads, you may use the advanced nonlinear cable analysis. Also ensure that you are using the latest STAAD.Pro 20.07.11.82.”
Our version is 20.07.11.33, does it have advanced non-linear cable analysis feature?
When FRS seismic input is specified along with perform cable analysis command , does it actually perform linear cable analysis? That answers question 1(a), as I can’t see the loading steps calculation on the screen. Could you please explain 1(b) and 1(c).
Also, could you please explain the items 2 and 3.
Thanks, Prabir Gupta
