Staad Pro Steps Simple

The document summarizes the main steps in performing a structural analysis using STAAD Pro: 1. Modeling the structure which includes defining the geometry, cross sections, materials, and supports. 2. Applying loads to the structure including self-weight, external nodal and member loads, temperature loads, seismic loads, and wind loads. 3. Analyzing the structure using methods like elastic analysis, P-Delta analysis, buckling analysis, and cable analysis. 4. Reviewing the results of the analysis through tables and graphical outputs.

i. Fixed (restrained in all 6 degrees of freedom)


ii. Pinned (restrained in all three translational degrees of
freedom and free in the 3 rotational degrees of freedo m)
iii.

Fixed But (create various types of roller, hinge and spring


supports with specified restrained degrees of freedom)

iv. Enforced (same as a Fixed support except that the restrained


degrees of freedom are defined in terms of being stiff springs )
v. Enforced But (same as the Enforced support except that
we have a choice on the degrees of freedom we wish to restrain )

vi. Multi Linear Spring (allows the user to model the support
type for which the resistance offered to external loads varies
with the extent of deformation of the support node)
vii.

Foundation (create spring supports for independent footings


and mat foundations)

viii.

Inclined (create supports that offer restraints in an axis system


that is inclined with respect to the global axis system)
