Settings

The Settings part of the Structural Analysis Interface window consists of three sections:

Header Section

Information from this section is output as the header information in the STD file. Currently only SI units and SPACE structure is supported.

Tolerances Section

The Tolerances section consists of tolerance information. These tolerances are used for node merging to avoid very short members in the exported STD file. Very short members can cause problems with Staad Pro calculations.

Output Settings Section

The Output Load check box determines whether to output the loads or not.

The Output Offset check box determines whether to output the offset or not. Refer to Justification for further information.

Click Output Load Case Setting to display the Output Load Case Setting window, the load cases for output can be determined.
