How to do Group Definition in Staad
How to do Group Definition in Staad
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I have made some group definitions for beams and columns in Staad.
But if I create a plate and meshing the plate (5x5), it will divide the beams into a separated beams (even at the first time, it's only one span)
In this stage, the Group Definition that I have made is totally messy.
For example..
Group = Beam B2 from beam no 1 to 5
After meshing the plate, beam no 1 to 5 become divided into new beams.
Beam no 1 become no 1 to 5
Beam no 2 become no 6 to 10
Beam no 3 become no 11 to 15, ...
But the Beam B2 is only no 1 to 5 (it doesn't automatically change after meshing)
Any advice on how to maintain the Group Definition as one part (same as before meshing plate)?
Please your kindly advice.
Thanks a lot.
