STAAD showing 2 different unity check values. 2

[cgstrucg]

Hello,

I have a STAAD code which is a simple beam design with loads and I was doing steel design. On performing design I got the results of beam unity check to be 0.74 (Actual Ratio). But on double clicking the beam and then going to Steel Design Section I see Unity check to be 0.41. This is weird. Can someone please give me an explanation on this. Uploaded the image and STAAD Code. I am using STAAD.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 6) 20.07.11.33

Thanks

I tested thins in STAAD.pro 20.07.11.82 and in the Connect Edition and I only see the 0.41 value. Must be something about build 20.07.11.33

On performing design I got the results of beam unity check to be 0.74 (Actual Ratio). But on double clicking the beam and then going to Steel Design Section I see Unity check to be 0.41.

I'm getting the same thing (I have build 20.07.11.45).

I think the reason is: you are specifying a allowable deflection value. The double click on the beam is giving the steel unity check as per AISC.....the design results is giving the ratio of allowable deflection you are using. And since you are utilizing more of your allowable deflection (0.74) than your allowable stress (0.41).....the higher ratio is what is given in the post-processing under design results.
