I feel compelled to respond to the
irresponsible remarkes by QSHAKE. The
"baseline" used to measure the accuracy
of the STAAD solution is stated in my
original post. The type of element used
is explained in the STAAD manuals. ERRORS
in a numerical analysis are dependent upon...
Thanks, born2build. I've never seen so much whingeing
over one word. Maybe I should have said "flat plate
related problems." I do not used STAAD for tubulars,
tubular junctions, or multiple curvature shells. I do
think, however, and I think the STAAD verification problems
bear me...
Gents:
I am a registered user of STAAD. It does have several shortcomings,
however, if you stick to "standard" problems with finite elements, you
can get good results. I have, for instance checked the plates against
an analytical solution for vertical walls with varous loadings and...
Anyone have experience with Research Engineers' program "Section Wizard?"
The price is $700.00, $500 for Staad Pro owners. The ads I've seen make
large claims.
