-LOAD CURSOR 

PLATES AND SOLIDS CURSOR 

-GEOMETRY CURSOR 

    3. How will you generate different views

for a model? State the steps involved.

 

-Go to view option 

-next  we can get option like 

-top  view 

-isomeric view 

front view 

-left view 

-right view 

bottom view 

-back view .

    4. Explain the procedure to define a

“Simply Supported” condition in STAAD Pro

ans-

-1st  GO to  Support command in tool palet 

command 

-click on creat support co.

-there we get  Fixed support , pin support 

fixed but ,

-enforcement but support , cable and 

inclined support 

 

    5. Name any five topics that you

       will include while creating DBR.

 

ans-

DBR -

DESIGN BRIEF REPORT 

SO  DBR is a short brief 

what ,  why , where  you are

going to make .

-in short it is core detail of project 

-5 topicks include in here

-name and location of project 

-structural layout .

-introduction to construction .

methology

-quality assurance and  control 

-budget of project .

 

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

ans .

- it is used for 3d model generation, analysis 

-staad pro support diffrent material 

steel ,timber ,concerete materials

-used of above seprate member we can 

design a structure .

 

 

3. 1. Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro?

Explain each system?

 

there is 3 structure system 

1.SPACE FRAMES 

 

IT IS  3D truss 

-it is used to design to carry loads 

for longer span ,

without any intermidiate support .

-it is Rigid and light in weight .

-low effective cost .

 

2PLANE FRAME -

-It is RCC AND STEEL FRAMES .

-IT IS 2D structure ,constructed with 

stright elements .

-connected hinged and rigid connection .

 

3.TRUSSES-

It is created in triangular forms 

which take loads both tension 

and compression .

 

    2. Explain the coordinate system

adopted in STAAD Pro software.

 

ans-

coordinate system

adopted in STAAD Pro software

X, Y, AND Z .

-BASICKLY ADOPTED COORDINATE SYSTEM IS 

1.GLOBAL AXIS IS a fixed in coordinate 

system.

2.LOCAL AXIS -

IT IS variable in nature , 

we can change it 

-in staad pro it is conventional coordinate system 

and in this system  Y IS A GLOBAL AXIS , WHICH

have upward direction .

 

    3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

ans-

DBR - DESIGN BRIEF REPORT 

IT IS a project management 

document .

-it have diffrent information

regarding of project .

-and construction.

-DBR is a detailed report ,

which have details of ongoing project .

-it have diffrent details of ongoing project like

  description of client , site information

,special requirement ,technical requirement ,

components requirement  project requirement

  or other issues of during construction 

    4. Explain the different types of

analysis options in STAAD pro.

 

1. LINEAR ELASTIC ANALYSIS .

2.P-DELTA ANALYSIS .

3.BUCKLING ANALYSIS 

4.PUSH OVER ANALYSIS 

 

    5. Explain the difference between Fixed

and Fixed But condition.

 

ANS-

FIXED CONDITION -

-In here all degrees of freedom that is 

horizontal and vertical or 

moment are fixed and this 

condition are restrined we 

cannot change accordingly.

 

FIXED BUT CONDITION 

-IN THIS CONDITION we 

make change at the ends 

accordingly

-it is not restrined .

we can release some degree

of freedom at ends in here .

 

 

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-
