As we know in R.C structures we may need to provide holes in beam for service purposes. I am here attaching a book showing examples on the design of beams with holes. [View:/cfs-file/__key/telligent-ideas/03d5f738-7ee6-4ff2-9384-201f3d5dd0d9/Concr...

There is no method, report, or output command available to display the "k" coefficient used by the program for vertical distribution of seismic base shear per ASCE 7-16, Eq 12.8-2. Since this value can vary with the period it needs to be reported ...

It will be helpful if a function for applying the hydrostatic forces on plate elements either by selecting a group of plates or a selecting a single plate e.g., the PlateID and the pressure at four corners of the plate. Many a times applying the p...

Hello i would like to give a suggestion when modelling a structure and create a mesh using parametric model after generating mesh we know the beams are broken into parts depending on the mesh size, if one decides to delete the mesh, then the disin...

Staad foundation advance supports design of structural strap of strap foundation as per ACI code , i.e not designed the structural strap of strap foundation as per Indian code. Hence add the features of design strap foundation along with structura...

In design of buildings sometimes we need to takeup tapered bracket or counterbalance supported tapered cantilever cross section At the moment we can not design tapering cross section in staad pro connection edition

Looking for a OpenSTAAD Function to extract Area of reinforcement from STAAD Output. I have explored the OpenSTAAD help and I couldn't able to find. If you have any solutions, please suggest.

It'd be nice to be able to use the take-off command on plate elements. Similarly to beams where the take off give the section, length, and weight. Having the take off give thickness, area, and weight would be really helpful.

Anyone who perform post-processing/detailed analysis on plated structures will benefit from this. The function could take a plate ID and loadcase as input, and give plate corner stresses for all corners as output.

Beam FB111 is secondary beam and beam FB347 to FB350 is primary beam. We want beam numbering reverse. Primary beam should have one number and secondary beam should split into four different numbers. We don't want group name in output file.
