Pipe Intersections Using STAAD Pro V8i
Pipe Intersections Using STAAD Pro V8i
(OP)
Our firm just purchased STAAD Pro v8i and I'm trying to use it to do a FEA on a fairly complicated steel casting. I've never used STAAD for FEA and am realizing as I'm building the model that it has some serious limitations for what I'm trying to do. I'm finding reasonable work arounds for most modeling issues, but am stuck on one.
I need to connect two hollow cylindrical shapes at 90 deg. to one another. I've contacted STAAD support and there is no direct way of doing this, but I'm supposed to receive a .pdf from them of a work around to make the connection possible. My problem is time, I've no idea when said .pdf is to arrive and I have a deadline approaching. Any help would be much appreciated.

I started the attached model with STAAD, then saved it to a DXF file and moved it over to RISA to complete the model. Is your something like this?

Thanks!

Find a copy of SAP2000 to get the pipe intersection portionm of the model started.
