Hardware Requirements
The following requirements are suggested minimums. Systems with increased capacity provide enhanced performance. PC with Intel-Pentium / AMD processor. Graphics card and monitor with 1024x768 resolution, 256 color display (16 bit high color recommended). 64 MB RAM or higher. Windows 95/ NT 4.0 or higher operating system. The software is capable of running in Windows NT 3.51, but, due to system limitations, some of the features, such as Animation, may be disabled. Sufficient free space on the hard disk to hold the program and data files. The disk space requirement will vary depending on the modules you are install ing. A typical minimum is 200MB to 300MB free space. A multi-media ready system with sound card and speakers is needed to run the tutorial movies and slide shows.
Note: Additional RAM, disk space, and video memory will enhance the performance of STAAD.Pro. Starting with STAAD.Pro Version 2001, the size of structures that the program can handle has been increased significantly. As a result of this, the minimum amount of physical + virtual memory required by the program also has increased to over 200MB. Users may need to ensure that adequate amounts of virtual memory are available, and in Windows NT and 2000 systems, parameters such as paging file sizes should be large enough or span over multiple drives if the free space on any one drive runs low. Another issue to keep in mind is the location of the TEMP parameter as in the SET TEMP environment variable in Windows NT and 2000 systems. While performing calculations, depending on the structure size, the program may create gigantic scratch files which are placed in the folder location associated with the TEMP parameter. Users may wish to point the SET TEMP variable to a folder on a drive that has disk space sufficiently large to accommodate the requirements for large size structures. Note: The user must have a basic familiarity with Microsoft Windows 95/NT systems in order to use the STAAD.Pro software.

Page Control
Sub-page Control
Main Window
Data Area
Menu bar
Located at the top of the screen, the Menu bar gives access to all the facilities of STAAD/Pro.
Toolbar
The dockable Toolbar gives access to the most frequently used commands. You may also create your own customized toolbar.
Main Window
This is the largest area at the center of the screen, where the model and the results are displayed.
Page Control
The Page Control is a set of tabs that appear to the left of the Main Window. There are two rows of tabs for accessing Pages and Subpages. Each Pag allows access to certain Subpages. Each Subpage allows you to perform specific tasks. The organization of the Pages, from top to bottom, represent the logical sequence of the operations, for example, definition of beams, specification of member properties, loading, and so on. Each "Page" tab has a name and an icon for easy identification. The name on the tabs may or may not appear depending on your screen resolution and the size of the STAAD/Pro window. However, the icons on the Page Control tabs always appear. The Pages in the Page Control area depend on the Mode of operation. The Mode of operation may be sent from the Mode menu from the Menu bar.

Data Area
The right part of the screen is called Data Area, where different dialog boxes, tables, list boxes,etc appear depending on the type of operation you are performing. For example, when you select the Geometry|Beam Page, the Data Area contains the Node-Coordinate table and the Member- Incidence table. When you are in the General | Load Page, the contents of the Data Area changes to display the currently assigned Load cases and the Load Specification dialog box.
Notes:
1. Note that the tables and other dialog boxes in the Data Area are physically seperate windows. In other words, you may move the Beam table or the Node table from their usual right corner position. If you need to see more of the Main Window, simply maximize it. You may still access the data tables by using the Window menu from the Menu bar. 2. The icons in the toolbar as well as in the Page Control area offer Tooltip help. If you are not sure what a particular icon represents, simply move your mouse on top of icon and wait a moment. A floating Tooltip help will identify the icon. 3. The STAAD/Pro menu items are not "Page"-dependent. This means that you may access any menu item at any point in time. For example, in the Geometry | Beam Page, you may select menu command sequence Commands |Material Constants | Material Table... to edit a material table. Similarly, the toolbar items are also independent of the Page.
STAAD/Pro offers you several "Modes" of operation. These modes may be accessed through the Mode menu from the Menu bar. The tabbed items in the Page Control area change depending on the current Mode. A check mark beside the menu item indicates that the specific menu item is selected.
Modeling
In the Modeling(Pre-processing) mode, you generate your model geometry, specify loads, supports, and so on. By default, when the program starts or a structure is opened, you always in the Modeling mode.
Post Processing
The Post Processing mode allows you to perform post-analysis result verification, query, report generation, so on.
Piping
The Piping mode allows ADLPIPE geometry to be viewed along with structure geometry in the STAAD/Pro Graphical Environment.

TYPE OF STRUCTURES
A Structure is defined as an assemblage of components or elements. Almost any type of structure can be analyzed consisting of both frame and plate/shell elements.
SPACE - is a three dimensional framed structure with loads applied in any plane.
PLANE - is a structure bound by a global X-Y coordinate system with loads in the same plane.
FLOOR - is a two or three dimensional structure having no horizontal (global X and Z) applied
loads or any load which may cause any horizontal movement of the structure. The floor framing (in global X-Z plane) of a building is an ideal example of FLOOR structure. Columns can also be modeled with the floor in FLOOR structure as long as the structure has no horizontal loading. If there is any horizontal load, it must be analyzed as a SPACE structure.
TRUSS (2D or 3D)- is a structure consists of truss members which can have only axial member
forces and no bending in the members.
Note:
Specification of the correct structure type reduces the number of equations to be solved during analysis. The results is a faster and more economic solution for the user. The degree of freedom associated with frame elements of different types of structures below.

UNIT SYSTEM
(EQUIVALENT ICON)
The user is allowed to input data and request output in almost all commonly used engineering unit systems including MKS, SI and FPS. In input file, the user may change units as many times as required. Mix and match between length and force units from different unit systems is also allowed. The input-unit for angles (or rotations) is degrees. However, in JOINT DISPLACEMENT output, the rotations are provided in radians. For all output, the units are clearly specified by the program.
B. Modeling of members or elements through specification of connectivity (incidences) between joints In general, the term MEMBER will be used to refer to frame elements and term ELEMENT will be used to refer to plate/shell and solid elements. Connectivity for MEMBERs may be provided through the ELEMENT INCIDENCE command. STAAD uses two types of coordinate systems to define the structure geometry and loading patterns. The GLOBAL coordinate system is an arbitrary coordinate system in space which utilized to specify the overall geometry & loading pattern of the structure. A LOCAL coordinate system is associated with each member ( or element) and is utilized in MEMBER END FORCE output or local load specification.

Cylindrical Coordinate System In this coordinate system, the X and Y coordinates of the conventional cartesian system are replaced by R (radius) and 0 (angle in degrees). The Z coordinate is identical to the Z coordinate of the cartesian system and its positive direction is determined by the right hand rule.

Beta Angle
When the local x-axis is parallel to the global Y-axis, as in the case of a column in a structure, the beta angle is the angle through which the local z-axis has been rotated about the local x-axis from a position of being parallel and in the same positive direction of the global Z-axis. When the local x-axis is not parallel to the global Y-axis, the beta angle is the angle through which the local coordinate system has been rotated about the local x-axis from a position of having the local z-axis parallel to the global X-Z plane and the local y-axis in the same positive direction as the global Y-axis. Figure below details the position for beta angles 0 degrees or 90 degrees. When providing member loads in the local member axis, it is helpful to refer to this figure for a quick determination of the local axis system.

Command Formats
A. Free-Format Input
All input to STAAD Pro is in free-format style. Input data items should be separated by blank spaces or commas from the other input data items. Quotation marks are never needed to separate any alphabetic words such as data commands or titles.
B. Commenting Input
For documentation of a STAAD Pro data file, the facility to provide comments is available. Comments can be included by providing an asterisk (*) mark as the first non-blank character in any line. The line with the comment is "echoed" in the output file but not processed by the program. Example: JOINT COORDINATES * coordinate of each node ( this is only a comment line) 1000 ec t.
{ } { }
FX FY FZ Here the user can choose one or all of the listing (FX, FY, FZ) in any order. Parentheses, ( ) , enclosing a portion of a command indicate that the enclosed portion is optional. The presence or absence of this portion affects the meaning of the command, as is explained in the description of the particular command. Example: PRINT (MEMBER) FORCES PERFORM ANALYSIS (PRINT LOAD DATA) In the first line, the word MEMBER may be omitted with no change of the meaning of the command. PRINT LOAD DATA these words can be omitted, in which case the load data will not be printed

F. Listing Data
In some STAAD command descriptions, the word "list" is used to identify a list of joints, members/ elements or loading cases. The format of a list can be defined as follows i i .. i, 2, 3, . 1 i1 TO i2 (BY i3) X or Y or Z TO means all integers from the list (i1) to the second (i2) inclusive. BY means that the numbers are incremented by an amount equal to the third data item (i3). If BY i3 is omitted, the increment will be set to one. Sometimes the list may be too long to fit on one line, in which case the list may be continued to the next line by providing a hyphen preceded by a blank. Also note that only a list may be continued and not only other type of data. Only lists may be continued to the next line by ending the line with a blank and hyphen with few exceptions: Multilinear spring supports, Supports, Master/Slave. Others have special types of continuations.
list =
Instead of a numerical list, the specification X (or Y or Z) may be used. This specification will include all MEMBERs parallel to the global direction specified. Note that this is not applicable to JOINTs or ELEMENTs. Do not use "ALL" unless the documentation for a command specifially mentions ALL.
EXAMPLE: 2 4 7 TO 13 BY 2 19 TO 2228 31 TO 33 FX 10.0 This list of items is the same as: 2 4 7 9 11 13 19 21 28 31 32 33 FX 10.0 POSSIBLE ERROR: 3 5 TO 9 11 15 FX 10.0

JOINT COORDINATES (CYLINDRICAL (REVERSE)) (NOCHECK) band-spec i1,x1,y1,z1,(i2,x2,y2,z2,i3) REPEAT n,x1,y1,z1, (xi2,yi2,zi2,....,xin,yin,zin) REPEAT ALL n,x1,y1,z1, (xi2,yi2,zi2,....,xin,yin,zin) band-spec = (NOREDUCE BAND)
NOCHECK = Do not perform check for multiple structures or orphan joints The command JOINT COORDINATES specifies a Cartesian Coordinate System. Joints are defined using the global X, Y and Z coordinates. The command JOINT COORDINATES CYLINDRICAL specifies a Cylindrical Coordinate System. Joints are defined using r, and z coordinates. JOINT COORDINATES CYLINDRICAL REVERSE specifies a Reverse Cylindrical Coordinate system. Joints are defined using r, and y coordinates. NOREDUCE BAND causes the program to execute without performing a bandwidth reduction. The REPEAT command causes the previous line of input to be repeated 'n' number of times with specified coordinate increments. The REPEAT ALL command functions similar to the REPEAT command except that it repeats all previously specified input back to the most recent REPEAT ALL command, or all joint data if no previous REPEAT ALL command has been given. (When using the REPEAT and REPEAT ALL commands, joint numbering must be consecutive and should begin with 1).

x1, y1 and z1 =
For PLANE analyses z1 is an optional data item when defining input for individual joints. z1 is always required for joint generation. The following are used only if joints are to be generated. * i2 = The second joint number to which the joint coordinates are generated.
x2, y2 and z2 = X, Y & Z ( R, & Z for cylindrical or R, Y & for cylindrical reverse) coordinates of the joint i2. i3 = n= xik, yik and zik = Joint number increment by which the generated joints will be incremented. Defaults to 1 if left out. Number of times repeat is to be carried out. Note that "n" cannot exceed 98 in any one single REPEAT command X, Y & Z ( R, & Z [R, Y & ] ) coordinates increments of the k th repeat.
The X, Y and Z (R, & Z [R, Y & ] ) coordinates will be equally spaced between i1 and i2. * Note that the REPEAT command uses the highest joint number entered so far plus one for the intermediate generated joint numbers.

Description
The REPEAT command causes the previous line of input to be repeated 'n' number of times with specified member and joint increments. The REPEAT ALL command functions similar to the REPEAT command except that it repeats all previously specified input back to the most recent REPEAT ALL command or to the beginning of the specification. (When using REPEAT and REPEAT ALL commands, member number ing must be consecutive) i1 = i2 = i3 = Member number for which incidences are provided. Any integer number (maximum six digits ) is permitted Start joint number. End joint number.
The following data are used for member generation only. i4 = i5 = i6 = Second member number to which members will be generated Member number increment for generation Joint number increment which will be added to the incident joints. (i5 and i6 will default to 1 if left out) n = Number of times repeat is to be carried out mi = Member number increment ji = Joint number increment.

Load Case
Stress Type
Select the Stress Type from the drop down list. Once you select these, the Maximum and the Minimum values of that stress under the selected load case are displayed.
Contour Type
Result Dir
This is the global axis about which the local axis moments MX, MY and MXY must be transformed into. So, if one sets the Result Dir to Z and Up to X +ve, the program does the following: a) Selects plates, which are parallel to the global Y-Z plane. b) For each plate, selects the surface, which is on the +ve side of the global Y-Z plane. c) For each plate, selects the local axis moments MX and MY and MXY on the surface described in (b) d) Transforms the moments described in (c) into a value along the global Z axis and plots it. Changing the Up value between +ve and -ve X will show the global Z moment on either side of the plates.
The Normal and Enhanced buttons indicate how the Stress Contour is drawn. The Normal contour option uses the stress points at each corner of the plate along with the center stress to calculate the contour. The Enhanced contour option uses the same points as the Normal contour plus the interpolated stress at the mid-point of the edges. The second option takes more time to generate but is more accurate. The No. of values option determines how may increments would be used to plot the stress contour.
Options
The Absolute Values option causes the stress values to be compared based on the absolute values, rather than algebraic values. If this option is checked, the stress values of +10 units and -10 units will be in the same range. The View Stress Index option displays the legends of the colors with stress values at the side of the screen.
Using this drop down list, the user may select the global axis that is normal to the plane of the plates. The +ve and -ve are meant to specify the surface of the plate which is on the +ve or -ve side of the global plane. For example, Y +ve indicates that the user wishes to obtain the mo ment for those plates whose surface is parallel to and along the positive side of the global X-Z plane. Hence, if a plate has its local Z axis along the negative global Y direction, choosing Y +ve will fetch the moment on the local bottom surface of the element.

This command allows the user to specify a group of members/joints and save the information using a 'group-name'. The 'group-name' may be subsequently used in the input file instead of a member/joint list to specify other attributes. This extremely useful feature allows avoiding of multiple specifications of the same member/joint list. General Format:
START GROUP DEFINITION (GEOMETRY) (group-name) member/element/solid-list ........ (default) JOINT _(group-name) joint-list ........ MEMBER _(group-name) member-list ........ ELEMENT _(group-name) element-list ........ SOLID _(group-name) solid element-list ........ END GROUP DEFINITION
where, group-name = an alphanumeric name specified by the user to identify the group. The group-name must start with the '_'(underscore) character and is limited to eight characters. member-list/ joint list = the list of member/joints belonging to the group. NOTES 1. The GROUP definition must start with the START GROUP DEFINITION command and end with the END command. 2. More than one GROUP name may be specified within the same definition specifica tion. 3. The words, JOINT, MEMBER, ELEMENT and SOLID may be provided if the user wishes to identify the group name lists with those specific items. However, if the group name and list is merely a means of grouping together more than one type of structural component under a single heading, the word GEOMETRY may be provided. In the absence of any those five words (GEOMETRY, JOINT, MEMBER, ELEMENT or SOLID), the list is assumed to be that for GEOMETRY.

ELEMENT INCIDENCES (SHELL) i1, i2, i3, i4 (i5) (TO i6, i7, i8) REPEAT n, ei,ji REPEAT ALL n, ei,ji
Description
ELEMENT INCIDENCES SHELL must be provided immediately after MEMBER INCIDENCES (if any) are specified. The REPEAT command causes the previous line of input to be repeated 'n' number of times with specified element and joint increments. The REPEAT ALL command functions similar to the REPEAT command, except that it repeats all previously specified input back to the most recent REPEAT ALL command; or to the beginning of the specified if no previous REPEAT ALL command had been issued.
i1 = Element number (any number up to six digits). If MEMBER INCIDENCE is provided, i2...i5 = Clockwise or counterclockwise joint numbers which represent the element connec
tivity. Note that i5 is not needed for triangular (3 noded) elements. The following data is needed if elements are to be generated: i6 = Last element number to which elements are generated i7 = Element number increment by which elements are generated. Defaults to 1 if omitted i8 = Joint number increment which will be added to incident joins. Defaults to 1 if omitted. The following data is needed if REPEAT or REPEAT ALL command are used to generate elements n = Number of times repeat is to be carried out. ei = Element number increment. ji = Joint number increment. this number must not coincide with any MEMBER number.

Notes: The PRINT ELEMENT INFO command may be used to verify the element incidences provided or generated by REPEAT and REPEAT ALL commands.
ELEMENT NUMBERING
During the generation of element stiffness matrix, the program verifies whether the element is same as the previous one or not. If it is same, repetitive calculations are not performed. The sequence in which the element stiffness matrix is generated is the same as the sequence in which elements are input in element incedences. Therefore, to save some computing time, similar elements should be numbered sequentially. However, the user has to decide between adopting a numbering system which reduces the computation time versus a numbering system which increases the ease of defining the structure geometry.

DESIGN OPERATIONS
STAAD contains a broad set of facilities for designing structural members as individual components of an analyzed structure. The member design facilities provide the user with the ability to carry out a number of different design operations. These facilities may be used selectively in accordance with the requirements of the design problem. The operations to perform a design are: Specify the members and the load cases to be considered in the design. Specify whether to perform code checking or member selection. Specify design parameter values, if different from the default values. These operations may be repeated by the user any number of times depending upon the design requirements. Steel Design may be performed based on the following codes: AISC-ASD, AISC-LRFD and ASSHTO.
C, MC, S, M, HP Shapes
The above shapes are available as listed in AISC (9th Edition) without decimal points. For example, C8X11.5 will be input as C8X11 and S15X42.9 will be input as S15X42, omitting the decimal weights. (Exception MC6X151 for MC6X15.1 and MC6X153 for MC6X15.3) Example: 10 TO 20 BY 2 TA ST C15X40 1 2 TA ST MC8X20

GIII-B Ground Floor, The Gallery Building Amorsolo St., Legaspi Village, Makati City 894-2580 843-6519
Double Channels
Back to back double channels, with or without spacing between them, are available. The letter D is front of the section name will specify a double channel. Example: 21 22 24 TA D MC9X25 55 TO 60 TA D C8X18
Angles
Angle specifications in STAAD are different from those in AISC manual. The following example illustrates angle specifications. Example: L 40 35 6 = L 4 x 3-1/2 x 3/8
Similarly, L505010 = L 5 x 5 x 5/8 and L904016 = L 9 x 4 x 1 At present, there are two ways to define the local y and z-axes for an angle section. To make the transition from the AISC Manual to the program data easy, the standard section for an angle is specified: 51 52 53 TA ST L40356
This specification has the local z-axis (i.e., the minor axis) corresponding to the Z-Z axis specified in the steel tables. Many engineer are familiar with a convention used by some other programs in which the local y-axis is the minor axis. STAAD provides for this convention by accepting the command: 54 55 56 TA RA L40356 (RA denotes reverse angle)
Double Angles
Short leg back to back or long leg back to back double angles can be specified by inputting the word SD or LD, respectively, in front of the angle size. In case of an equal angle either LD or SD will serve the purpose. Example: 14 TO 20 TA LD L35304 SP 0.5 23 27 TA SD L904012 (Long leg back to back L 3-1/2 x 3 x 1/4 with .5 space)

Tees
Tees are not input by their names, as they are listed in the AISC manual, but instead by designating the beam shapes (W and S) from which they are cut. Example: 1 2 5 8 TA T W8X24 tee cut from W8X24 which is WT4X12
Pipes
Two types of specifications can be used for pipe sections. In general pipes may be input by their outer and inner diameters. Example: 1 TO 9 TA ST PIPE OD 2.0 ID 1.875 will mean a pipe with O.D. of 2.0 and I.D. of 1.875 in current units.
Pipe sections listed in the AISC manual can be specified as follows. 5 TO 10 ST PIPX20 PIP X 20 Pipe symbol Strength spec (denotes extra strong pipe of 2 in. dia.) 10 x Dia. in inches specify only portion before decimal point
Tubes
Tubes from the AISC tables can be specified as follows. 5 TO 10 TA ST TUB120808 TUB 120 80 8 Tube Symbol Height x 10 (in.) Thickness in 1/16th in. Width x 10 (in.)
Tubes, likes pipes, can be input by their dimensions (Height, Width, and Thickness) as follows. 6 TA ST TUBE DT 8.0 WT 6.0 TH 0.5 is a tube that has a height of 8, a width of 6, and a wall thickness of 0.5 Member Selection cannot be performed on tubes specified in the latter way. Only code checking can be performed on these sections.

Note: All values f1-9 must be supplied in current units. Some important points to note in the case of the composite section are: 1) The width of the concrete slab is assumed to be the width of the top flange of the steel section+16 times the thickness of the slab. 2.) In order to calculate the section properties of the cross-section, the modular ratio is calculated assuming that: Es = Modulus of elasticity of steel = 29000 Ksi. Ec = Modulus of elasticity of concrete = 1802.5 FC Ksi where FC (in Ksi) defined earlier.

NOTE:
1) 2) 3) The structure has to be modeled in such away that the global vertical axis remains perpendicular to the floor plane(s). For the FLOOR LOAD specification, a two-way distribution of the load is consid ered. For the AREA LOAD specification, a one-way action is considered. FLOOR LOAD from a slab is distributed on the adjoining members as trapezoidal and triangular loads depending on the length of the sides as shown in the diagram. Internally, these loads are converted to multiple point loads.

be
The load per unit area may not vary for a particular panel and it is assumed to continuous and without holes. The FLOOR LOAD facility is not available if the SET Z UP command is used. If the floor has a shape consisting of a mixture of convex and concave edges, then break up the floor load command into several parts, each for a certain region of the floor. This will force the program to localize the search for panels and the solution will be better.
The load distribution pattern depends upon the shape of the panel. If the panel is Rectangular, the distribution will be Trapezoidal and triangular as explained in the following diagram. X

First, the CG of the polygon is calculated. Then, each corner is connected to the CG to form triangles as shown. For each triangle, a vertical line is drawn from the CG to the opposite side. If the point of intersection of 3 the vertical line and the side falls outside the triangle, the area of that triangle will be calculated and an equivalent uniform distributed load will be applied on that side.

LOAD COMBINATION
This command may be used to combine the results of the analysis. The combination may be algebraic. SRSS and a combination of both.
General Format
SRSS ABS
i a1
i = Load combination number(any integer smaller than 100000 that is not the same as
any previously defined primary load case number.) a1 = Any title for the load combination i1 , i2... represents the load case numbers which are to be combined f1, f2 ... represents corresponding factors to be applied to loadings. fSRSS = optional factor to be applied as a multiplying factor on the combined result of the SRSS result of the SRSS load combination. If the last character on a line is a hyphen, then the command is continued on the next line. A limit of 100 prior cases may be factored in one command. NOTE: 1) 2) 3) In the LOAD COMBINATION SRSS option, if the minus sign precedes any load case no., then that load case will be combined algebraically with the SRSS combination of the rest. The total number of primary and combination load cases combined cannot exceed 500. A zero factor terminates the list.
LOAD COMBINATION ABS Absolute value of results from the analyses will be combined.
LOAD COMBINATION SRSS Results from analyses may be combined both algebraically and using the SRSS (Square Root of Summation of Squares) method. The combination scheme may be mixed if required. For example, in the same load combination case, results from load cases may be combined in the SRSS manner and then combined algebraically with other load cases.

Description
PINNED support is a support that has translational, but no rotational restraints. In other words, the support has no moment carrying capacity. A FIXED support has
both translational and rotational restraints. A FIXED support can be released in the global directions as described in release-spec (FX for force-X through MZ for momentZ). Also, a fixed support can have spring constants as described in spring-spec (translational spring in global X-axis as KFX through rotational spring in global Z-axis as KMZ). Corresponding spring constants are f1 through f6. Note that the rotational spring constants are always per degree of rotation. All six releases may be provided as may be required when using the CHANGE command. If both release specifications and spring specifications are to be supplied for the same support joint, release specification must come first. Example SUPPORTS 1 TO 4 7 PINNED 5 6 FIXED BUT FX MZ 8 9 FIXED BUT MZ KFX 50.0 KFY 75. 18 21 FIXED 27 FIXED BUT KFY 125.0

In this example, joints 1 to 4 and joint 7 are pinned. No moments are carried by those supports. Joints 5 and 6 are fixed for all DOF except in force-X and moment-Z. Joints 8 & 9 are fixed for all DOF except moment-Z and have spring in the global X and Y directions with corresponding spring constants of 50 and 75 units respectively. Joints 18 & 21 are fixed for all translational and rotational degrees of freedom. At joint 27, all DOF are fixed except the FY DOF where it has spring with of 125 units spring constant.
Notes
1) 2) 3) 4) Users are urged to refer to Section 5.38(STAAD Tech. manual) for information on specification of SUPPORTS along with the CHANGE command specifications. Spring constants must be provided in the current units. All spring DOF must be entered after the last non-spring DOF is specified, if both are on the same line. If there are two entries for the same joint, then: a) any direction that is pinned/fixed on either will be fixed in that direction. b) any direction released on one and is a spring on the other will use the spring. c) Any direction that is pinned/fixed on one and a spring on the other will use pinned/fixed.
Description of Enforced
Enforced Support defines which translational and rotational directions, at a joint, may have a support displacement imposed. If no support displacement is entered, then zero displacement will be imposed, as if that direction was FIXED. The enforced displacement directions will be fixed for dynamic load cases. If there are two entries for the same joint, then any direction that is enforced on either will be enforced in that direction, overriding any other support specification for that joint-direction.

Analysis Specification
STAAD analysis options include linear static analysis, P-Delta (or second order analysis), Nonlinear analysis, and several types of Dynamic Analysis. This command is used to specify the analysis request. In addition, this command may be used to request various analysis related data like load info, statics check info, mode shapes etc.
General Format
PERFORM NONLINEAR
ANALYSIS (PRINT
LOAD DATA STATICS CHECK STATICS LOAD MODE SHAPES BOTH ALL
Without one of these analysis commands, no analysis will be performed. These ANALYSIS commands can be repeated if multiple analyses are needed at different phases. If the PRINT LOAD DATA command is specified, the program will print an interpretation of all the load data. PRINT STATICS CHECK will provide a summation of the applied loads and support reactions as well as a summation of moments of the loads and reactions taken around the origin. PRINT STATICS LOAD prints everything that PRINT STATICS CHECK does, plus it prints a summation of all internal and external forces at each joint (generates voluminous output). PRINT STATICS LOAD should be used for members only, no results are given for plates or solids. PRINT MODE SHAPES prints mode shape values at the joints for all calculated mode shapes. PRINT BOTH is equivalent to PRINT LOAD DATA plus PRINT STATICS CHECK. PRINT ALL is equivalent to PRINT DATA plus PRINT STATICS LOAD.

LOAD LIST
This command allows specification of a set of active load cases. All load cases made active by this command remain active until a new load list is specified.
General Format
LOAD LIST
load-list ALL
Description This command is used to activate the load cases listed in this command and, in a sense, deactivate all other load cases not listed in this command. In other words, the loads listed are used for printing output and in design for performing the specified calculations. Note that, when PERFORM ANALYSIS command is used, the program internally uses all load cases, regardless of LOAD LIST command, except after CHANGE or RESTORE command. In these two cases, the LOAD LIST command allows the program to perform analysis only those loads in the list. If the LOAD LIST command is never used, the program will assume all load cases to be active.

The PRINT SUPPORT INFORMATION command prints all support information regarding their fixity, releases and spring constant values, if any. The LIST option is not available for this command. The PRINT ALL command is equivalent to last five print commands combined. This command prints joint coordinates, member information, member properties, material properties and support information, in that order. The PRINT CG command print out the coordinates of the center of gravity of the structure. Only the selfweight of the structure is used to calculate the C.G. User defined joint loads, member loads etc. are not calculated in the calculation of CG. The PRINT (JOINT) DISPLACEMENTS command prints joint displacements in a tabulated form. The displacements for all six directions will be printed for all specified load cases. The length unit for the displacements is always INCH or CM (depending on FPS or METRIC unit) regardless of the unit specified in UNIT command. The PRINT (MEMBER) FORCES command prints member forces (i.e. Axial force (AXIAL), Shear force in Y and Z axes (SHEAR-Y and SHEAR-Z), Torsional Moment (TORSION), Moments about local Y and Z axes (MOM-Y and MOM-Z) in a tabulated form for the listed members, for all specified load cases. The PRINT ANALYIS RESUTS command is equivalent to the last t hree commands combined. With this command, the joint displacements, support reactions and member forces in that order printed. The PRINT (MEMBER) SECTION FORCES command prints member forces at the intermediate sections specified with a previously input SECTION command. The printing is done in a tabulated form, by member, for all specified laod cases. The PRINT (MEMBER) STRESSES command tabulates member stresses at the start joint, end joint and all specified intermediate sections. These stresses include axial ( i.e. axial force over the area), bending-y(i.e. moment-y over section modulus in local y-axis), bending-z(i.e. moment-z over section modulus in local z-axis), shear stresses in both local y and z directions (FY/AY and FZ/AZ) and combined (absolute combination of axial, bending-y and bending-z) stresses. For PRISMATIC sections, if AY and/or AZ is not provided, the full cross-sectional area (AX) will be considered in shear stress calculations. For TAPERED sections, the values of AY and AZ are those for the location where the stress is printed. Hence if the stress is printed at the location 0.0, the AY at AZ are based on the dimension of the member at the start mode. AY = Total depth * Thickness of web AZ = 2/3 area of both flanges put together.

The PRINT ELEMENT STRESSES command must be used to print plate stresses (SX, SY, SXY, SQX, SQY), moments per unit width (MX, MY, MXY) and principal stresses (SMAX, SMIN, TMAX) for plate/shell elements. Typically, the stresses and moments per unit width at the centroid will be printed. The Von Mises stresses (VONT, VONB) as well as the angle (ANGLE) defining the orientation of the principal planes are also printed. SQX Shear stress on the local X-face in the Z direction SQY Shear stress on the local Y-face in the Z direction MX Moment per unit width about the local X face MY Moment per unit width about the local Y face MXY Torsional Moment per unit width in the local X-Y plane SX Axial stress in the local X direction SY Axial stress in the local Y direction SXY Shear stress in the local XY plane VONTVon Mises stress on the top surface of the element VONB -Von Mises stress on the bottom surface of the element SMAX -Maximum in-plane Principal stress SMIN Minimum in-plane Principal stress TMAX -Maximum in-plane Shear stress ANGLE Angle which determines direction of maximum principal stress with respect to local X-axis If the JOINT option is used, forces and moments at the nodal points are also printed out in addition to the centroid of the element. The AT option may be used to print element forces at any specified point within the element. The AT option must be accompanied by f1 and f2. Note f1 and f2 are local X and Y coodinates(in current units) of the point where the stresses and moments are required. The PRINT ELEMENT FORCES command enables printing of plate "corner forces" [ F = Kel . Del ].

DRAW SPECIFICATIONS
This set of commands may be used to generate printer plots of structure geometry and results as part of the output. Description
Besides interactive graphics, STAAD has features to provide commands to plot structural geometry, analysis results etc. as part of the STAAD output file. Note that these output files (.ANL files) should be printed only through the PRINT OUTPUT option of the main menu of STAAD. Plots can also be displayed by the VIEW OUTPUT option of the main menu of STAAD. Plots are of high-resolution and most of the 8/9/24 pin dot matrix and laser printer are supported. The DRAW command is used to create the plots in the output. The following is the format of the DRAW command.

= Zoom factor by which structure is to be reduced or enlarged. A value less than 1.0 is for reduction and greater than 1.0 is to enlarge. = Shrink factor by which member/elements be shrunk. Value varies from f2 0.1 to 0.9 = Scale factor by which deflected shapes to be multiplied. Normally all scales are f3 automatically computed. However, the user may change this by this command. x, y = x and y shift values based on structure coordinates. ln = Load number to be considered. sn = Mode-shapes number to be displayed. xa, ya, za = X, Y, and Z angles by which the structure is to be rotated = Maximum and minimum values defining the range in the direction r1, r2 perpendicular to the specified section plane.
1) Following commands may be used anywhere in the input. ISOMETRIC - Draw isometric view ROTATE - Rotates as specified in rotate-spec SECTION - Draw section as specified in section-spec ZOOM - Draw with zoom factor of value f1 SHIFT - Shift structure to the specified x, y values JOINT - Display joint numbers. MEMBER - Display member numbers. SUPPORT - Display support icons. PROPERTY - Display property names. SHAPE - Display the shape of the member property with proper BETA angle orientation. HIDE - Remove hidden lines when elements are present. SHRINK - Shrink all member/elements by the factor of f2 LOAD - Display load icons. Obviously, this command can be used only after the loadings are provided.

MEMBER refers to the member number for which the design is performed. TABLE refers to the AISC steel section name which has been checked
against the steel code or has been selected.
c)
RESULT prints whether the member has PASSed or FAILed. If the RESULT
is FAIL, there will be an asterisk (*) mark in front of the member number.
d)
CRITICAL COND refers to the section of the AISC code which governed the
design.
e)
RATIO prints the ratio of actual stresses to allowable stresses for the critical
condition. Normally a value of 1.0 or less will mean member has passed.
f) g)
LOADING provides the load case number which governed the design. FX, MY and MZ provide the axial force, moment in local y-axis and moment
in local z-axis respectively. Although STAAD does not consider all the member forces and moments to perform design, only FX MY and MZ are printed since they are the ones which are of interest, in most cases.
h) i)
LOCATION specifies the actual distance from the start of the member to the
section where design forces govern. If the parameter TRACK is set to 1.0, the program will block out part of the table and will print the allowable bending stresses in compression (FCY & FCZ) and tension (FTY & FTZ), allowable axial stress in compression (FA), and allowable shear stress (FV), all in kips per square inch. In addition, member length, area, section moduli, governing KL/r ration and CB are also printed. In the output for TRACK 2.0, the items Fey and Fez are as follows:
Fey = 12 2 E 23(KYLY/ry)2 Fez = 12 2 E 23(KzLz/rz)2

Description
The seismic load generator can be used to generate lateral loads in the X and Z directions only. Y is the direction of gravity loads. This facility has not been developed for cases where the Z axis is set to be the vertical direction using the "SET Z UP" command.

Description
This facility may be used to design isolate footins for user specified support joints. Once the support is specified , the program automatically identifies the support reaction(s) associated with the joint. All active load cases are checked and design is performed for the support reaction(s) that rquires the maximum footing size. Parameters are available to control the design. Dowel bars and development lengths are also calculated and included in the design output.
Design Considerations
The STAAD isolated footing design is based on the following considerations. 1) The design reaction load may include concentrated load and biaxial moments. 2) The vertical reaction load is increased by 10% to account for the selfweight the footing. 3) Footing slab size is rectangular. The user through a parameter may control the ratio between the length and the width of the slab. 4) Optional pedestal design is available. 5) Footing cannot be designed at supports where the reaction causes uplift on the footings. 6) This facility is currently available for the American code only.
of
Design Considerations
The following sequential design procedure is followed: 1) Footing size is calculated on the basis of the load directly available from the analysis results (support reactions) and user specified Allowable Soil Pressure. No factor is used on the support reactions. 2) The footing size obtained from 1) and the FACTORED LOAD is utilized to calculate soil reactions FACTORED LOAD = ACTUAL REACTION X Parameter FFAC Note that the user may provide a desired value for parameter FFAC 3) Footing depth and reinforcement details are based on soil reactions calculated per 2) above. 4) Dowel bar requirements and development lenght are calculated and reported in the output.

COMPUTER HARDWARE (Parts and History) A. Systems Unit A box shape part of computer containing the computers CPU (Central Processing Unit), motherboard, interface cards, simm rams, data storage device & drives. The most popular models is Pentium III. The PC AT's were obsolete models and were popular day the 80's.
IBM/PC or PC compatible.
I. 80286 model - a clone of IBM's AT which was based on Inte 80286 microprocessor and can address 16 MB of memory, but it was always operated with PC or MS DOS (obsolete). II.80386 Model - a computer built around a 80386 microprocessor. It uses the same bus (internal communications system) as an 80286 machine. An 80386 CPU, due to hardware design, limits physical memory to 16 MB.
Intel Micro-processor
a. 80386-Sx b. 80386-Dx III. 80486 model - a computer built around an 80486 microprocessor. Data transfer was 32 bits per cycle, it had a built-in math-coprocessor and can accomodate 8MB cache. An 80486 can address 64 MB of physical memory (obsolete). a 80486 Dlc no math-co b. 80486-Sx no math-co c. 80486-Dx built-in math-co d. 80486-Dx2 built-in math-co IV Pentium 450 MHZ to 1 GHz, latest PIII has 512k 2 level cache.

B. Input Devices
1. KEYBOARD - It is a primary input device for every computer. Used for entering commands and texts, although this medium of data entry is limiting to a non typist user. 2. MICE - small square devices with a cord connecting to the computer which use the table top to point to various objects and menus on the screen. They are functional for computer-aided design, free-form drawing, setting margins and tabs in word processing.
mouse
Track ball
3. DIGITIZER- Tablets used in combination w/ a puck, light pen or stylus. Great for computer-aided design and engineering.
Cursor (puck)
Stylus pen
4. JOYSTICK - Popular for playing computer games. It can be moved in several directions. 5. TOUCH SCREENS - Works by merely pointing your finger at something on the screen.

3. Plotters Sizes ranges from A to E dimensions. Prints using different paper media, pen types and colors. They are essential for CAD. Types of plotters are: -Large Format Inkjet Plotters - It is the cheapest and widely used Large Format Plotter for CAD & poster output. It uses CMYK liquid toner, dye-based (for indoor) or pigmented (for outdoor 6 months maximum.) -Large Format Laser Printers - up to E-size output, and may pro duce hi-resolution color/mono prints. Pen Plotters -either Drum type (roller beds) or XY type (flatbed). Pen plotters had to 20 or more pens (ink pen/lead pen), though most software restricted the number to eight. Sizes ranges from A to E (obsolete). -Thermal Plotters - no pens, no toners, and no noise. Thermals ranges from A to E; With resolutions up to 400 dpi and plots 10x faster than pen plotters. Thermal plotters use a special media. -Electrostatic Plotter - process begins as the plotter electrically charges a special media, attaches toner to that charge,removes excess toner, then dries the plot. Vector images (line) are converted first into raster (dot) image before processing begins. Resolutions range from 200 dpi to 400 dpi, and most are D-E sizes (for outdoor display).
