Delete Results of Analysis when Design Parameter is modified / Added
When Analysis has already ran, and I tend to modify / add a design parameter, Staad keeps results of analysis even though there has been a modification to the results. It should Delete them once any part of the design has been modified or added.
Thank you for posting this idea. This is somewhat at odds to the general feedback we have had which is that the analysis and design routines should be segregated because making any change to the design means that the analysis results are invalidated. This can be frustrating as whilst it is right to re-run the design, it doesnt need the analysis to be re-run. If the two processes could be segregated, doing quick checks and modifications could become more dynamic. In the current framework, if changing parameters does not invalidate the results, then this is an issue that neds to be addressed which needs to be investigated.
The issue was found to be the result of a logic issue which has been addressed and resolved in the STAAD.Pro 2023 release
