Hello...Very good morning to all..
I am working on a analysis of single vent UNDER TUNNEL (box section). I am trying to write a macro in excel which is useful to extract member forces required to my design directly to my excel sheet using "GetIntermediateMemberForcesAtDistance" command in open staad. My program starts with importing staad file and analysis of it and then extracting forces required. Program is working fine up to analysis but it is displaying incorrect results in the output cells (Compared with the results in post processing). Here i am attaching program code and staad file. Actually i didn't required Fz, Mx and My for my analysis that is because i took FA(0), FA(1) and FA(5) only as output results for Fx, Fy and Mz which are required in my design. Please help me to get correct output.
I have used followhyperlink function to open staad pro, but is taking some seconds to open staad pro meanwhile i am getting error in reading objectstaad function. Present i am opening staad pro manually and then running the program. Please help me in this issue also.
Is there other way to extract member section forces directly from .ANL file using macros without opening staad?
