TRAINING COURSE: Advanced Structural Analysis

USING THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE TO GENERATE THE GEOMETRY (PRE-PROCESSOR):

•         The general STAAD Pro course environment
•         Short discussion on plane frames, space frames, beams, trusses, etc.
•         Using the drawing tools for creating nodes & beams. Generation methods such as copying /mirroring, rotating. Using spreadsheets.
•         Tools for visualization of the model - panning, zooming, viewing from various
•         angles, using multiple views and windows, renumbering entities.
•         Examining the tools for checking structural integrity.
•         Understanding the STAAD input file using the STAAD editor.
•         Tutorial problem: Generating models using the Structure Wizard.
•         Steel Design
•         The Staad pro training gives an idea about using the graphical user interface to generate the geometry or pre processor.
