(OP)
I am modeling a simple portal frame using bar joists for the roof member but it seems as though the bar joist is not working as a frame member.

RE: STAAD Bar Joist
"In STAAD, selfweight and any other member load applied on the joist is transferred to its end nodes through simply supported action. Also, in STAAD, the joist makes no contribution to the stiffness of the overall structure."
RE: STAAD Bar Joist
I figured the size of the beam I needed and then specified a joist with similar properties (moment of inertia) and end moments (had to separate these into dead, snow, wind and seismic for the mfr).
Never specifically tried using the bar joist option in STAAD.
