View ArticleRE: Single angle design for compression in STAAD.Pro appears incorrect
I revised the file to eliminate the Tension Only command (otherwise it takes hours to run) and this changed the compressive force in the brace (member 30812) to 45.1 kips. Â With that force it (Please...

I have a L80607 truss member that fails by a ratio of 1.36 under a compression force of 33.0 kips, using the AISC 360-10 ASD code. The KL/R ratio listed in the output is 148.9, which for A36 steel...

Hi there,I am trying to model what would appear to be a simple steel lifting frame with 1 bracing member. I have so far created a model but I am getting quite a few warnings when attempting to analyse...
View ArticleRE: TRIANGULAR FACTORIZATION
The best option in this case would be a use of the Advanced Analysis Engine which would speed up this process many times. Note that the Advanced Analysis Engine requires a separate license.
View ArticleRE: TRIANGULAR FACTORIZATION
Thank you for the answer. Is there any other solution because it will take time before we can get the advanced analysis engine. I attached my model in the comment above.

You need to have PERFORM ANALYSIS command present in the model.(Please visit the site to view this file)

View ArticleRE: TRIANGULAR FACTORIZATION
As your model contains quite many members/plates, I do not think that there is any way to reduce the triangular factorization time in the basic solver other than to reduce the amount of members/elements.

You can use the "Advanced Analysis Plus Engine". It took around 80 minutes to complete the full run of the attached input file.
