Attachingg the error file. Trying to bring in camber values and getting an error. (Please visit the site to view this file)
Is there a fix to this error when using RAM Revit ISM Plugin (2017): Failed to parse camber value '1 1/2". Expected length values such as '50mm' or '3"'.
Location of Zero BM
Hi,
Could you please tell me how do we find the location of bending moment curve sign change(i.e., location of zero bending moment on the member) in Staad Pro.?
Thank you
Tubular Joint Check Plotting
Hi,
I am using STAAD ProV8i and running the international code check module to check tubular joints to API. The program is calculating the joint unity ratios and displays them on the text output file but I cannot seem to find a way to plot them on the screen in a similar to the way you can plot beam unity ratios. Is there a way to display the unit ratios on the screen, this would be particularly useful as on a model with a number of node points it can be difficult to determine which nodes pass or fail very quickly.
Thanks

Issues with modelling angle section as a cantilever
When modelling a single angle as a horizontal cantilever, (along x axis for example). I applied a beta rotation of 45deg to get the leg vertical and applied a vertical point load at the tip. Following a successful analysis, the resulting deflection appears to be incorrectly calculated by STAAD compared to hand calculation, the value of vertical deflection is higher than calculated value, and there is an out of plane deflection (Z axis) that should be zero. I could not find a STAAD verification example for this problem. If any one knows why this is happening and offer a solution would be appreciated.
Assign camber to a beam
I am using RAM structural systems, is there any way to assign a camber to a specific beam. I want to model the existing framework of a building so I need to include the camber that was there. Thanks.
*WARNING* MASTER / SLAVE EQUATIONS ARE NOT PROPERLY CONSIDERED IN A TIME/STEADY SOLUTION.
Can you pleas help with this one.
Im doing a time history load but I got an error " *WARNING* MASTER / SLAVE EQUATIONS ARE NOT PROPERLY CONSIDERED IN A TIME/STEADY SOLUTION."
Are my calculation wrong because i already sent this to these forum but when I make a calculation report this warning was discovered.
Do i need to redo my design and use offset command or there is a remedy to this.
Thank you.(Please visit the site to view this file)
STAADPRO PHYSICAL MEMBER PROBLEM
Hi!
I just want to know hoe to resolve this error in defining a Physical member.
This beam is diagonal on xz plane on staad. I already redefined its incidence and local axis are of same direction already.
Is there any other setting to ensure?
Alignment is already assured as it can be merged into one entity.
Please refer to snapshot below.
***ERROR***ABOVE LINE CONTAINS ERRONEOUS DATA.
GOOD DAY. I AM NEW TO USING STAAD. I HAVE A MODEL AND I INPUTTED THE LOADS ETC. AND UPON RUNNING THE ANALYSIS THIS ERROR MESSAGE KEEPS COMMING UP
***ERROR*** ABOVE LINE CONTAINS ERRONEOUS DATA
I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT, BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAN ANYONE HELP ME IN RESOLVING THE ERROR. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I AM ATTACHING MY MODEL . PLEASE ANY ASSISTANCE WILL HELP.

VBA
am working on a VBA coding from excel to STAAD
Before Select server 6 update the following VBA used to run staad file from the excel
After the update this command is not working. Can somebody help me out on that.

Hi all,
where i can download Openstadd??

Nodes not visible in Ram Elements
The nodes in my model are not visible as the typical blue dots. Others in my office can open this same model and see the nodes. I have tried various visibility options, and can't get them to turn on. It is making it very difficult to work in Elements.
RAM Elements Concrete Beam Design
When designing concrete beam elements in RAM Elements, how are the following items accounted for:
1. Reducing moments to face of supports
2. Reducing shear to d distance from the support
3. How are T-sections modeled? I went through the sections but did not see any T-sections.
4. How are long term effects accounted for in beam deflection (creep, etc)?
I looked through RAM Elements manual but it does not really address any of these items. Thanks for the help.
Node Failure in RC designer while seismic analysis
Whenever I run analysis for earthquake in RC designer, there is always a node failure irrespective of how much I increase the column size. Also when I run analysis for beams it shows anchorage requirements not met. Please Help. I am using IS 456.
THANK YOU

Ram Connection - Export to DXF
When exporting a ram connection detail into dxf format it is exported as a 3D model when I open it in Autocad. I'm trying to import this file into Revit and edit it from there, but it won't let me explode it because the file is in 3D. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
DIFFERENCE IN BENDING MOMENT VALUE
concrete column design ec2
When calculating the slenderness of a concrete column RAM uses a value of 1.0 for Factor A. This seems to be a standard value as it does not change in any column design output. According to EC2 (5.8.3.1) when the value is unknown Factor A should equal 0.7. Is there a way to change this factor in RAM Concrete Column design?
STAAD Pro Multilinear Spring Supports
Dear Bentley Team,
I've question regarding multilinear spring supports, in order to assign the spring support I have to enter the displacement and spring stiffness values. The displacement values to be entered are actual displacements or proportional/relative to maximum displacement? In STAAD help following is defined;
UNIT …
MULTILINEAR SPRINGS
2 4 SPRINGS -1 40.0 -0.50 50.0 0.5 65.0
Is there a detailed example or exercise file in help files which would provide more clarity on this subject?
Thank you in advance.
