Staad.pro Connect Edition "NOTE total no. joints is greater than 999"

≪ Previous: Problems with visualization of Staad.pro Connect Edition

Hello,

I have calculated a model (simple plate model / with a plate load / fixed supports) with Staad.pro Connect Edition and I got the next NOTE

TOTAL NO. OF JOINTS IS GREATER THAN 999

NO OUTPUT FOR APPLIED JOINTS EQUIVALENT LOADS

If I run the same model with S6 version I don`t get the NOTE ...

The results for the model calculated with S6 and Connect Edition versions are the same (reactions, Statics check results, displacementes, Plate Von Mises stress ..)

Could you explain me this note ??

Anybody have this situation come up and have possible work arounds?

Hello,

Due to some architectural elements, my RAM Model has a partial level in some locations. This level however doesn't interact with the CMU walls I am currently trying to design in RAM Elements - Masonry wall module. Is there any way I can remove the partial level's pinned restraint (shown at Level 2 below) that the Masonry module is creating at this location?

I am modeling a new support configuration for pool water instrument rack / monitors with STAAD. Late last week, I received and installed STAAD.Pro version V21.00.02.44. It has successfully run a model of the configuration several times without problems. However, earlier today, it stopped while “Calculating Member Forces.” There was not error given, nothing....the program just stopped and would not go any further. The model consists of small bore tubing, plate elements, a piece of HSS support steel, and solids that are only used to mimic the instrument weight and geometry of the instrumentscommunities.bentley.com/.../Final-Model-Static-DYNAMIC.std

I am at a total loss on this….can you help?

But after importing & designing in Staad RCDC its showing -"Detailing failure ".

How to solve this problem , Guys help me?
Why this problem is showing , can any one tell me ?

By the way I have tried a lot of dimensions[(18"*24"),(24"*24"),(30"*30"),(20"*16"),(36"*36")] but neither of them worked .

Columns beneath are (600*600) & (450*750)mm

can within plates results -results along line option be used to see the maximum values for a given number of load cases/ combinations.

i.e. instead investigating the results for each load case can someone request a maximum value from given combinations/ cases for a given location.

is there other way to do it?...e.g. using a 'repeat load' or 'envelope' option within staad...

many thanks.

≪ Previous: plate results -results along line

I did a search in the folder where STAAD executables are located for the db3 files (section database files). It showed the same files being in multiple locations. For instance, here are the locations for " AISC_15.db3".

So what's going on? Notice all the files are the same date and size. To add to the weirdness, the "Sections" folder appear as shortcuts but they seem to be actual folders. So why are these files in multiple locations?

BTW, you're probably wondering why I am looking for them. When I use the Section Database Manager and hit "Commit" it crashes so I'm using a third party database tool. I have submitted a service request. Has any one else ran across this bug?

I am hoping to use STAAD for beam design for a run of simple span beams with dead and live loads.

I currently can not get the program to stop designing for deflection based on factored loads.

I was strength design based on envelope 2 and deflections for envelope 1. Is this possible for Canadian Codes?

Hi,

I do need to add some lateral point load on a slab where the column is supported by the slab. Is there any way to apply lateral point load on the location where there exist no lateral framing element in the RAM Modeler?

Is there a video or blog to guide how to manually add point load on a slab in the RAM Concept?

Thank you.

Hi Support Team,

I have been modelling a large 3m deep transfer PT beam. (Screen shot below). Is there any Bentley software that would allow be analyse the 'True' bending stress as explained in section 52.4.2 of the user manual. Alternatively can you some how specify horizontal element divisions in RAMConcept?

Additionally the PT tendons need to be staged stressed. Is there a way to simulate staged stressing of tendons in RAMConcept? i.e. Apply varying Balance loading's.

(Please note I am designing this to AS3600)

Thanks

Hi,

Recently the office update the Staad.Pro to the version 20.07.11.90, some of the pc report an error with the Editor as shown at the imagen.

The error was solved by changing to the previous Editor.

After that, the file include at first line the following simbols: ï»¿STAAD SPACE

Obviusly those symbols cause a error in Staad.

How can I fix the error in the new Editor?

I appreciate it the help or any sugestion.

I'm currently designing a tall CMU shear wall system for a structure, but keep getting design failures due to 'insufficient shear strength' or 'excessive compressive stress'.

To try and find the root of my problems, I was wondering: what does RAM Elements assume as the compressive strength of grout, for a 'full grouting' wall? And strength of mortar assumed? Further, do you know of any complications with the program when masonry shear walls are designed to large heights? (Our walls are 6 stories tall.)

I am currently working on a model in RAM SS and need to include masonry shear walls in the model. What is the best way to model the masonry shear walls in RAM SS? Right now I am more concerned with sizing the concrete beams and columns below the masonry walls and so I don't need to go into RAM Elements at this time. Should I still be creating the walls under "other" and adjusting the material properties or should I be using the "concrete" option to best match masonry walls?
