Hi everyone,
I have an industrial open steel structure model which to be Designed as per Canadian Code. All Beams which is broken into pieces (for intersecting beams) are not designed correctly as STAAD considers them short and gives me the Utilization Ratio of 0.01 or less. I have tried Physical members but unfortunately for physical members there is no option to design steel with Canadian code. I have tried and changed UNT and UNB and LY and LZ Design parameters of small beams to reflect the actual Beam length but still get the same result in Steel design Detail output page. any help greatly appreciated.
