    Staad Warehouse

    First thing you need to do is connect your crane beams to the structure. They are just floating in space right now. After you fix this you will find that you have stability problems. Suggest do regular linear analysis (PERFORM ANALYSIS) instead of direct analysis. Get things working than go back...

    Staad Warehouse

    Please attach you input file (.std). This is from the output and it is not complete. Just for grins I stripped out the line numbers and ran it. Notice right below line 81 you got a "This structure is disjointed" warning. You have missing members tying it all together. You need to fix this before...

    STAAD Feet vs Inches

    Can you post the STAAD model (.std file)? As RWW0002 said, you can mix units in STAAD. I can't imagine a case where this would get goofed up unless someone went into the file and changed units manually. If that happened, you could just correct the offending UNIT command. Or maybe you're using an...

    European Stainless Steel Flat Bar

    We manufacture large process equipment. We have some that will be going to Europe. As such it has been determined that we should follow EN 1090-2. Part of the structural framing is stainless steel. EN 1090-2 stipulates that stainless should conform to EN 10088-4 or EN 10088-5. I need 25mm thick...

    EN 10025 S235JR Plate in US

    Thanks for the replies. Looks like we'll probably be buying this overseas, building it in the US and then sending it back across the pond. What a waste of resources!

    SP, I tried them. No luck. Thanks anyway.

    EN 10025 S235JR Plate in US

    The plate provider would have to certify that this meets EN 10025 S235SJR and CE stamp it. I understand that A36 is very similar, maybe even considered the same, but without proper documentation our European client is not going to accept it. I'm looking for a US company that can do this. It's...

    EN 10025 S235JR Plate in US

    Does anyone know if metric size plate conforming to EN 10025 S235SJR can be purchased from a supplier in the US? It would also need to be CE stamped. It would be nice if the plate were at least 2.5M wide but we'll take what we can get. Thanks

    OpenSTAAD

    Add ReDim nodesList(nNodes-1) As Long before openSTAADObj.Geometry.GetNodeList nodesList() You also need your For-Next loop to go to nNodes not nNodes-1. I'm assuming you know you can just copy and paste the STAAD nodes table into a spreadsheet.

    STAAD user table (UPT) error?

    You've got massively large IX values for those members. This is blowing STAAD's mind. I took out "e+43" from the two properties and it ran.

    Wind and Seismic in Mexico

    Does anyone know if there is an English translation of Comisión Federal de Electricidad – Manual de Diseño de Obras Civiles - Capítulo C.1.4 Diseño por Viento –2020 and Capítulo C.1.3 Diseño por Sismo? If so, where can I purchase it/them? I'm not sure if those are two chapters within the same...

    Designing Module to go in 70% of the World

    I think this is pretty much pie in the sky, but I had to give them something. The various levels will have grating so we're not too worried about snow. I gave them a very high number for wind. I did tell them extreme northern latitudes (I guess southern for that matter) have their own issues...

    Thanks Luceid. That's definitely a step in the right direction.

    Designing Module to go in 70% of the World

    These would be permanent. This is a request from sales so they have no idea what 70%. About the best they can do is narrow it down to several continents. Looking for the worst case is the crux of my question. With all the codes worldwide and lack of data that I can found outside the U.S., it's...

    Staad pro help. what section property is this? Idenitifcation

    The reason it's not in the database is these are user defined rectangular sections. Jed is right, the dimensions are 16" x 0.75" and 9" x 1". I wouldn't call them plate though and risk confusing them with plate elements. These properties are for beam elements. You're also going to need their...

    How to transfer roof truss loads to steel columns if the truss analysis is localized

    I guess it wasn't that important after all.

    Designing Module to go in 70% of the World

    If you were told to design a process module than could be plunked down pretty much any place in 70% of the livable land mass of the world, what seismic criteria would you use? I'm in the U.S. so I picked some S1 and Ss values along with risk category III and site class E that would allow it to...

    Cracks in Rigid Frame Bridge Wall

    Edward1, you may still want to post this on Structural Engineering general discussion. I would be very interested to hear what concrete experts have to say about this. I'm a steel designer so I have no knowledge but it seems extreme to me.
