Hi Sabbu,
I tried once to use the connection design but it didn't prove particularly responsive s I shelved it.
Also, i am not sure I understand the double step method you mentioned. Besides, no analysis is done in the code check or single selection sections of the Steel Designer's run. It...
Hi Sabbu,
I have faced your problem before. It's been sometime since so I cant say I remember the exact circumstances that led to staad giving that error. What I do remember though is that it happened when I was doing member selection. What I'll suggest is that you do a code check. Afterwards...
Thanks for your response.
I understand your concern about the accuracy of software packages in terms of member design.
I normally would do the design by hand myself.
Staad does a cross-section check as well as stability checks. the effective length is normally correct. In the few instances...
Hi
You probably should explore using the interactive steel design module of Staad Pro. You will have to define physical members for all the beams that you want to check deflection for before you run the analysis. Staad interactive Steel design is able to check for slenderness, deflection and a...
Hi,
I have an issue with the Interactive Steel Design Module of Staad Pro. I noticed that when it design beams, although a beam may fail the Combined Axial and Bending Check, Staad Pro still passes such beams. I normally design to BS 5950 using Staad Pro 2007 Build 2.15.
My issue is that...
