Or if you also require buckling analysis or cable element but you have to write Mx,My,As module yourself, Gt-strudl should be the choice. But if you deal mainly with RC/Post-tensioned slab, ADAPT-Floor or Floor are much better. You can grasp a prelim.view of the nsity before you can make a detail design yourself if you don't trust its algo. Strap on the other hand combine and graphically show the design Mx, My, as well as the computed reinforcement grid. I really recommend small model test before using it even though in the present 2001 version, I found it's much better.Īnyway, if you talk about RC Plate design I don't think either Staad or Sap is suitable, you have to combine yourself the Mxy to Mx, My yourself to get the design Mx, My before calculating reinforcement. I also faced with so many strange bugs, including the one raised by austim. inclined supports, master-slave:RIGID, nonlinear analy, etc.
I've found it's very useful but you've to be very careful, esp. competitiors msajjadh (Structural) 24 May 01 20:57
#Risa tower structural analysis software software
I would heartily support Qshake's suggestion that software programmers are unlikely to be sufficiently skilled in structural design to leave it all to them.
#Risa tower structural analysis software code
However skilled the programmers at writing good code and elegant solution routines, I would have dark doubts about the engineering skills available to a software team that could build such an assumption into their published product. That looked like a pretty clever trick to me, except that practically none of the reported stress values were correct.Įventually I realized that the bending stresses had been calculated on the basis that all members were symmetrical and 10 inches deep. I was puzzled by output that reported the stresses in bending members, when the member properties entered had been limited to Area and I values (ie no section moduli, no member dimensions). The designer had used STAAD for the analysis of the 3D truss structures involved. In early 1992 I checked the design of some cranes and other temporary equipment to be used for construction of a major bridge between Thailand and Laos.
This minor comment is almost certainly hugely outdated, but may be so am I, so I will persist.
