a) Open STAAD.Pro connect file

b) Go to specification > Create support

e) Quality assurance plan

2. 6. Describe the term “Multi material design” of STAAD Pro.

• It is used for 3D model generation, analysis and multi-material design
• STAAD. Pro supports several steel, concrete and timber material in a separate manner

3. 1. Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro? Explain each system?

 The structural systems in STAAD.Pro are:-

a) Space frame, b) Planar frame and c) Triangular frame

a) Space frame:- Space frame is a 3D dimensional frame structure that are designed to carry loads independently without any intermediate support

b) Planar frame:- Planar frame is a 2D dimensional frame structure connected with straight elements connected together by rigid/hinged connections

c) Triangular frame:- Traingular frame structural system is a system connected with three noded elements which is subjected to a vertical forces through one of its edges, distributes that force evenly to either side which makes it more stable.

3. 2. Explain the coordinate system adopted in STAAD Pro software.

The coordinate system adopted in STAAD.Pro software namely X, Y and Z axis. The basic commonly coordinate system adopted in STAAD.Pro is:-

a) Local axis:- Local axis is variable in nature.

b) Global axis:- Global axis is fixed which has three coordinates namely global x, global y and global z axis

Basically STAAD.Pro uses a conventional structural system and in this case height of the structure refers to global Y axis  

3. 3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

DBR generally refers to Design Basis Report.  The purpose of this DBR is to compile data required for analysis, design and detailing of all structural elements and RCC elements i.e. RCC, shear walls, beams, columns, slabs and footings.

It is used for design calculations and other detailed drawings.

3. 4. Explain the different types of analysis options in STAAD pro.

The different types of analysis options in STAAD.Pro are as given below:-

a) Linear static analysis

b) Second-order analysis (P-`delta`)

c) Non-linear analysis

d) Member imperfection analysis

e) Push over analysis

3. 5. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But conditions.

Fixed condition:- Fixed condition is the condition where all the three degree of freedom that is horizontal or vertical or fixed are been completely restrained

Fixed but conditions:- The Fixed But support condition is used to allow the user to define which degrees of freedom of a node are free and which are fixed.

4. Practical
