Hello,

I am trying to open a RAM connection file previously saved in v13.1. After the v13.2 update, I am getting the following error and cannot access any of my original connection designs.

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Unable to add General Section via "add profile points" method

$
0
0

I am not able to add a General Section via the "Create User Provided Table" prompt. This issue is specifically an issue when trying create a General Section by using the "add profile points" method.  I am able to add a General Section by using the Section Wizard tool (that is not an issue), but my only criticism of using the Section Wizard tool is that it does not show the true shape of the profile in rendered views, but just shows a line instead, which causes difficulty in knowing what orientation the shape is in.  It is strange because I was able to add 2 General Sections before (months ago) using the "add profile points" method, but am not able to now. At the "Create User Provided Table" prompt, under my existing table "1", I click on "Add New Property", then check "Define Profile Polygon", then enter my Z & Y coordinate (profile point) values, then enter a "Section Name". I then click on the "Compute Section Properties" button, and that's when STAAD hangs and crashes. Could this be a license (CONNECTION Client) problem?

I am running STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition - Version 21.00.01.12

hello 

i am having lone time periods for high rise  rc moment frames in compere to my spectrum medium duration (TL=6 s) , i also have zero spectral acceleration a manege to fix by developing my custom  spectrum still my periods are high which i believe result in less spectrum response on my structure .

Hi,

Can you please help me understanding the following,

How do we apply the temperature loads to the circular HSS members for the attached case, where the coil with temperature 500 degree Celsius is supported by two HSS members.

I looked at the past post, but I am not clear yet.

slab edges to create a diaphragm in each of the 5 bays

$

I need to create a separate diaphragm in each of the bays but I am having issues with the slab edge and load distribution. If i align the slab edges along the shared shear wall i get a message that the slab edges are intersecting. If I offset the edges - i get a message regarding the load distribution and the parameter walls? Can I create a separate diaphragm in each of these bays?

The model: concrete shear walls surround each bay. Walls that have adjacent bays share the same shear wall. The roof framing is steel beams. 

Macro use in STAAD.Pro CONNECT

$

Hello All,

I'm trying to create a macro that will do the following:

1. Extract support reactions from a steel frame STAAD model for each support and for each of my applied loads (unfactored)

2. Summarize these reactions in an Excel table

3. Use above mentioned Excel table as input to a second STAAD model (mat foundation model) to assign reactions to the proper piers (column support node number and pier node number are the same for this purpose).

How do I go about doing this? Where can I get information of writing macros? Do I need to write a STAAD macro to extract infomation to Excel, or write an Excel macro to extract information from STAAD? Does STAAD use Excel tables an input to self populate such information?

Thanks,

Elena

Can someone helps me understand the usage of the load case type: (primary,ultimate,service).
I have read at the help file that 

  • Primary - used for both serviceability and factored design. both the serviceability and design factors will automatically be set to unity (1).
  • Service - used only for serviceability checks to calculate footing dimensions.
  • Ultimate - used for shear checks and reinforcement design

but when I generated the service load combinations I noticed that the load cases that were assigned as an ultimate load case, where also used in the service load combinations as shown below
