Week 1 Challenge

• Click and drag on the Rotation Gizmo axes to rotate the view about that global axis.
• Click on the zoom controls to zoom in or out of parts of the model. Click-and-drag the middle mouse button (i.e., scroll wheel) to pan the view.
• Click on the Perspective control to display the perspective switch and slider.
• To navigating the model view
• The view window contains a unique control device called the Rotation Gizmo which allows you to select set view orientations or to orient the model in the view about the global axes.
• Click the Rotation Gizmo to display preset views. Click the Invert icon to display the reverse of these views.

• Click and drag on the Rotation Gizmo axes to rotate the view about that global axis.
• Click on the zoom controls to zoom in or out of parts of the model. Click-and-drag the middle mouse button (i.e., scroll wheel) to pan the view.
• Click on the Perspective control to display the perspective switch and slider.

D)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 

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

• 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 

It also contains other parts also such as:

Length:The body of the report should be no more than ten double-spaced pages. Detailed design work, drawings, diagrams, engineering analyses, vendor part descriptions (e.g., gears, bearings), parts lists, and references should be referred to in the body of the report and then included as attachments.

Purpose of the Report:The purpose of the report is to describe all aspects of your mechanical design project in a concise and thorough manner.

Audience:Assume that your report will be read by your supervisor (D. Walczyk) and other design and manufacturing engineers working on this project.

Organization:

1. Title Page:Include the title of the report, your name, the class, and date of submission.
2. Executive Summary:Summarize what was asked for, what you accomplished and how it was accomplished. Include your main results and conclusions. Put this section first in the report but write it last. The summary should stand alone from the rest of the report. Limit it to one page (double-spaced) or less.
3. The Problem:Summarize the details of your chosen design project. In addition to the original problem description, include any additional tasks that you have decided to accomplish.
4. Design Specifications:List and fully explain the main design specifications used for this project. Many have already been prescribed in the project description.
5. The Concept:Using a neat hand sketch, CAD drawing, and/or schematic diagram, describe the final conceptual design for your project. 
6. Detailed (Embodiment) Design Work:Provide an overview of the detailed design work you have completed. Report on each aspect of the detailed design work, reviewing the work completed in each area, and including sketches and the results of calculations, as appropriate. Include detailed component and assembly drawings (CAD preferably) and any supporting engineering calculations of only the parts you were asked to design in the problem statement as appendices. Whenever appropriate, make sure that you link the detailed design to the concept, design specifications, and problem
7. Design Assessment:Summarize the results of your detailed design work  :Do your achieve and/or exceed all of the design specifications.What is the overall design recommendation to your engineering supervisor (i.e., D. Walczyk)? For example, should it be abandoned, further developed or pushed into production immediately? Why?Finally, comment on what else needs to be accomplished, beyond what was asked for in the design problem, before an actual prototype can be built.
8. References:References should be included. Use an acceptable format.
9. Appendices:Include in appendices all material that should be archived for further development of this project, i.e. early concepts, communications with vendors, details on vendor-supplied parts, engineering calculations, and detailed assembly and component drawings.

F)It means that it consist of different materials . i.e a steel deckhouse settled on a concrete shear wall

3.)Answers:

A)Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro? Explain each system?

Ans: They are four structural system in staad pro 

B)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 

C)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 
• Contains the projec planning 

D)Explain the different types of analysis options in STAAD pro.

Ans :

E)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 

4)Aim : Creating  a STAAD Model with the following Specification

a)A beam of span 16m

• 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

b)Support : Fixed on one end and Roller support(Horizontal) on the other end

• Adding Fixed support and Roller support Horizontal on other end 

c)A point load of 50 kN at the mid-point

d)Draw SFD and BMD using software
