Step 3 - Select Pinned support for one Node & Fixed But for other Node
Step 4 - Assign the Support to Beam
2.5. Name any five topics that you will include while creating DBR.
Design Basis Report (DBR) is created to understand detail project report which include -
- Name of the Project & Location of the Project
- Structural Layout
- Construction Methodology
- Quality Assurance & Quality Control
- Budget for the Project
2.6. Describe the term “Multi material design” of STAAD Pro.
In Staad Pro It offers different material which we assign material based on design Consideration. So we can use the multi material in Building in 3D Option.
3. 1. Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro? Explain each system?
Structure System in staad pro Are-
- Space - Three Dimensional framed structure with load applied in any Plane
- plane - Two Dimensional framed structure with in Global X-Y Coordinate System
- Truss - Which is made for Truss Member and load applied in axial member Force and No Bending Moment.
3.2. Explain the coordinate system adopted in STAAD Pro software.
There are two type of Coordinate System are
Global Axis - Standard Coordinate System which will not change
Local Axis - Local Axis x (Longitudinal Direction) will not change , Y&Z will Variable based in Design
3.3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.
- Design Basis Report is detail report to understand Structural Design and Construction Methodology.
- To Specify & Compile the data required for analysis and design of structural element of the Project.
- It Clear depicts the assumption And Specification that are being used to develop the construction documents for a project
- Provide Client Details, Project name & Location, Soil Report and Design Calculation.
3.4. Explain the different types of analysis options in STAAD pro.
Analysis option in Staad Pro
- Perform Direct Analysis
- Perform Analysis
- P Delta Analysis

3.5. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But condition.
Fixed Support - In Fixed Support 6 Degree of Freedom are restrain and Displacement not allowed.
Fixed But Support - It is roller support with Spring (k) -FX,FY,FZ MX,MY,MZ & K
Practical :-
AIM - To Create the Model in Staad Pro by provided Specification given.
INTRODUCTION - As we cresting the bream with support for both end And Assigned load for the Beam. Analysis the beam with Load And Providing Shear Force & Bending Moment Diagram.
PROCEDURE -
Create the New file in staad Pro Software & unit in Metric
New File Will be Created.


Enter into Created file. Create the Node of distance 16m after that create the Beam.
Provide Support for Beam in Both Nodes Pinned and Roller Support
Select Material after that apply Perform Analysis and Run Analysis.

Go to Post Processing Mode We find the Shear Force and Bending moment Diagram
Bending Moment Diagram

Shear Force Diagram

Result - Beam in Safe Conduction under the Load applied
