Hi all,
I am new to using moving load within staad.
I have a couple of questions:
1. is there a way to enter the name of the vehicles in vehicle/load definition section like "HL-93 Truck", etc? By default staad writes it as Type 1, Type 2, and so on...but no way to remember what vehicle corresponds to type 1 load.
DEFINE MOVING LOAD
TYPE 1 LOAD 8 32 32
DIST -14 -14 WID 6
TYPE 2 LOAD 25 25
DIST -4 WID 6
TYPE 3 LOAD 19 18 18 18
DIST -11 -4 -4 WID 6
2. The above problem becomes further difficult when moving load generation command is used. For every vehicle type multiple load cases are automatically generated and from result file it is not easy to find out which load cases are related to which load type or vehicle type.
Is there a way to overcome this issue so that the result output file would include the name of the vehicle and/or the type of load pertains to that load case?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
