Training Module Description

This course serves as a basic to intermediate level application of STAAD Pro software for structural design of various types of structures. Participants are expected to have good grasp of structural design engineering principles. Each participant provided a dedicated PC with the necessary software loaded and the training course will be a combination of PowerPoint presentations and interactive sessions. The participants will also be given the opportunity to develop at least one project-specific deliverable during the Training Programme. Course Content:
MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO STAAD FOR STRUCTURES ANALYSIS AND DESIGN General Description Types of Structures; Trusses, Frames, Shells etc Units Structure Geometry and Coordinate System 1. Global Coordinate System 2. Local Coordinate System 3. Relationship between Global and Local Coordinate Systems. Member Properties. Member Releases Basic Support or Boundary Conditions. Basic Load Definitions and Load Generations Design Capabilities. MODULE 2: MODEL GENERATION AND ANALYSIS OF SIMPLE STRUCTURES Setup; Templates or User-defined. Geometry: 1. Model Generation Using Templates. 2. Model Generation Using Member Incidences for Beams, Plates & Surfaces. 3. Model Generation using Import from DXF file. 4. Model Modifications: Add, Remove, Copy, Move, Divide, Selection, Mesh Generations etc Mirror, Delete etc of beams, Plates and Surfaces. Member Properties: Material, Releases, Offsets, Compression & Tension etc. Supports; Foundations, Fixed, Pinned, Free, Enforced, Springs etc. Loadings; Dead, Live, Wind and Combinations. Analysis Options: Linear Static Analysis
