We modeled a Filter tank 135x45x7.65m in dimension using approximately 1x0.5m plates. As you can imagine, the number of plates are quite excessive and the program "erases" some of the plates after running. I remember the older versions of STAAD had a limit, be it beam elements, plate elements and what not. So is there a limit to Select 6 the same as the older versions? If there is, what are the limiting numbers for beam elements and plate elements, surface elements etc.
Thanks in advance
