Does STAAD support several input files?
Does STAAD support several input files?
(OP)
I am working on a model which I have to change part of the data file very often (coordinate of joints and/or element incidence). Can I have several input files? I do not want to browse to the line I want to replace every time I update the model.
TIA

Other than that, if you know the line number where the particular coordinate is to be found (which should be the same every time, unless the size of the model changes drastically or you renumber the nodes), you can click on the "Line x Col x" area at the bottom right corner of the Input Editor and it will bring up a nice little popup window where you can enter the line number. It'll take you directly to that line, regardless of program size. Cheers!

Thank you for you suggestions. Unfortunately, when I referred to part of the input files, I was talking about 100 lines (add and/or remove members from the model, regroup them together, define the support type for added members and remove the members from support type lists). Basically, I am working on a foundation design which I have to optimize the location of the piles (vertical and battered).

Every time I do an analysis the labels disappear.
