hmm i guess i gotta figure out how to model the plate elements. Also, are there 'easier' programs instead of STAAD? everything i read, its just people complaining about it.
quick question...i was doing a live chat with the bentley support and they told me that staad cannot represent a hole in a section. i was planning on making a 3D model and putting the hole where it is. is this true? if it is, what program should i be using?
I have a HSS28x28x5/8 column and I do not know how to create that section in STAAD. I currently have a full 2D model of the structure and all the loads/properties (was previously used for design), but now I need to analyze the column with a hand hole in the column section. As far as I know, this...

We are using MDX to design the steel, we were using STAAD to model the deck in order to design the the thickness/rebar/etc. Does MDX design/check rebar in the deck?
so apparently we dont have the current microsoft access so i cant edit the user steel tables. time to tell my boss we gotta spend some more money i guess!
I am trying to model a curved girder bridge with a composite concrete deck. I was able to layout the geometry and generate the plate mesh for the deck, but I do not know how to input a custom plate girder section. Can anyone help me out?
