Note: FEM import is an old way to import STAAD data. We recommend that you use a direct link to or, which are available in Tekla Warehouse service for collaboration and for storing and sharing Tekla Structures content In Tekla Warehouse the content items are stored in collections.

Comprehensive Structural Analysis and Design Software. STAAD.Pro is a comprehensive. We include online help and dozens of examples to illustrate solutions to commonly raised. Imported from DXF files. • Load generators.

Tekla Warehouse includes the Tekla Warehouse Service and the Tekla Warehouse web site. Tekla Warehouse is one of the Tekla online services.

If Tekla Structures and STAAD.Pro or ISM are loaded onto the same machine then direct links can be used. Note: To make a STAAD input file Input files are used for different purposes, for example, for defining the content and structure of a dialog box and for defining certain reinforcement-related settings.

Input files have the extension.inp, for example rebar_config.inp. Compatible with the Tekla Structures STAAD import, use the option Joint coordinate format (Single) to save the input file in STAAD.

This creates a line for each coordinate in the input file. • On the File menu, click Import > FEM.

The New Import Model dialog box opens. • Select Import FEM.

• Use the default name import model or enter a name for the import model. • Select the model. • Click Properties to open a dialog box where you can define the settings for the import file type you selected: • On the Conversion tab, enter the conversion file names or browse for the conversion files. • On the Parameters tab, enter the name of the STAAD file you want to import in the Input file box.

• Set the file type to STAAD in the Type box, and set the origin coordinates in the Origin boxes if you want the file in a specific location. • Set the material grade in the Material box on the Staad tab. You can also click. Next to the box, and browse for the material grade in the Select Material dialog box.

• If you wish to create a report of the import, enter the required information on the Report tab. • If you are importing the model for the first time, you do not need to change the default values on the Advanced tab. • Click OK to go to the Import Model dialog box. • Click Import. Tekla Structures displays the Import model info dialog box.

• Select which version of parts to import. • Click Accept all. If you have changed the model and want to re-import it, you can also reject all changes by clicking Reject all, or accept or reject individual changes by clicking Select individual. • Tekla Structures displays the message Do you want to save the import model for subsequent imports? Tekla Structures displays the import model in a model view view that is represented in the modeling mode Model view is available also in the drawing mode and it is represented in its own window.

• Right-click the model view and select Fit work area to entire model to ensure that the imported model is completely visible. • If parts are missing, check the View depth Up and Down values in the View Properties dialog box and change them if necessary.

Find sources: – ( July 2016) () STAAD or ( STAAD.Pro) is a and design software application originally developed by Research Engineers International in 1997. In late 2005, Research Engineers International was bought. STAAD.Pro is one of the most widely used structural analysis and design products worldwide. It supports over 90 international steel, concrete, timber & aluminium design codes. It can make use of various forms of analysis from the traditional static analysis to more recent analysis methods like analysis, geometric non-linear analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non Linear Analysis) or a analysis. It can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis methods from time history analysis to response spectrum analysis.The response spectrum analysis feature is supported for both user defined spectra as well as a number of international code specified spectra.

Additionally, STAAD.Pro is interoperable with applications such as RAM Connection, AutoPIPE, SACS and many more engineering design and analysis applications to further improve collaboration between the different disciplines involved in a project. STAAD can be used for analysis and design of all types of structural projects from plants, buildings, and bridges to towers, tunnels, metro stations, water/wastewater treatment plants and more.

Physical Modeling [ ] Physical modeling has been a significant feature included in the program. STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler takes advantage of physical modeling to simplify modeling of a structure, which in turn more accurately reflects the process of building a model. Beams and surfaces are placed in the model on the scale of which they would appear in the physical world.
