SOLI Element

The DESC attribute of the SOLI element stores the name of the material in Staad Pro and the key word of the material type in Staad Pro. Keyword "ISO" or "2DO" is required as a prefix in the DESC attribute with "/". ISO is used for Isotropic and 2DO is used for OrthoTropic2D.

The system reads the members of the SOLI element and extracts the first instance of a particular property with an SREF set to ST/xxxxx where "ST/" is the key word to identify the element and "xxxxx" is the material property name in Staad Pro. The material properties values are set in the child elements of the SOLI element. There are no units to the values and the units must be compatible.

If there are 2 TAPR elements with Sref set to ST/CDAMP, only the first TAPR is read. The APROPERTY attribute of the first member wtih hardtype TAPR (the type is SAPR in the example) is the attribute to be extracted.
