    3. How will you generate different views for a model? State the steps involved.

Ans: 

Go to view option in the ribbon there we can get option like

• Top view
• Isometric view
• Front view
• Left view
• Right View
• Botttom view
• Back view

    4. Explain the procedure to define a “Simply Supported” condition in STAAD Pro

Ans: 

Go to the support command in the tool palet command

• Click on create support command
• There we can get option like fixed support , pin support , Fixed but
• Enforced but support
• Cable support
• Inclined support

    5. Name any five topics that you will include while creating DBR.

Ans: 

DBR Design basis report

• To take up a project from the scrach to the end this is need
• To specify the data and compile data recived and analysis and design of structural element
• It contains the assumption and specification to develop the project
• It will help to avoid the scope and the creep that can derail the projec schedule and lead to budget overness
• Contains the general Column drawing
• Contains the projec planning

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

Ans: 

• It is used for 3D model generation, analysis and multi -material design .
• The STAAD .Pro supports several steel , concrete and timber material in a seprate member
• This seprate member will cordinate and the formed in to a structure

3.

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

Ans: 

They are four structural system in staad pro

Structure System          Geometry           Loading              Deform                       Joint

Space                                 3D                       3D                    3D                            ANY
Plane                                  2D                       2D                    2D                            ANY
Frame                                2D                   PARPEN TO XZ       PERPEN TO XZ            ANY
Truss                                  3D                        3D                    3D                            Pinned

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

Ans: 

They are two coordinate syytem in Staad pro

• Global Axis : Gloabal Axis is fixed in the coordiate system
• Local axis : local axis is variable
• This is used for the orientation of the beam with the load varible

    3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

Ans: 

• DBR Design basis report
• To take up a project from the scrach to the end this is need
• To specify the data and compile data recived and analysis and design of structural element
• It contains the assumption and specification to develop the project
• It will help to avoid the scope and the creep that can derail the projec schedule and lead to budget overness
• Contains the general Column drawing

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

Ans: 

    5. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But condition.

Ans: 

• In fixed condition the node or the end condition are fixed are restrained with the FX , FY, FZ and the moment are also restrained
• In Fixed But condition the node are Fx and MZ are released as it is horizontal rolled support

Practical 
1. Create a STAAD Model with the following Specification
a. A beam of span 16m
b. Support : Fixed on one end and Roller support(Horizontal) on the other end
c. A point load of 50 kN at the mid-point
d. Draw SFD and BMD using software

Ans:

Grid Dimension are to be given spacing as 1 m and in X and Y direction are 18 Grid

• Click on the Grid menu and Draw a beam of span 16 m
• For the node View click on CTRL +N or Right click and labels and view nodes

Adding Fixed support and Roller support Horizontal on other end
