ProjectWise Integration Purpose ProjectWise is an engineering project team collaboration system which is used to help teams improve quality, reduce rework, and meet project deadlines. One of the major pieces of functionality provided by ProjectWise is an Integration Server which allows data to be managed and shared across a distributed enterprise. STAAD.Pro has been enhanced so that the model STD data file can be managed on a ProjectWise server.
Description Four integration functionalities have been added. These are
• Open a STAAD model from a ProjectWise repository. • Save a local STAAD model into a ProjectWise repository. • Update an existing model from ProjectWise. • Review model properties (meta-data) which has been opened from a ProjectWise repository.
Note that access to all of these functionalities is available from ProjectWise sub-menu under the general File menu described below.
ProjectWise repository Installation and management of a ProjectWise server is beyond the scope of this document and should be obtained from the ProjectWise installation.
ProjectWise client A local ProjectWise client should be installed which allows access to ProjectWise repositories.

Tekla Structure Integration with Different Structure Analysis Softwares
Integration between Tekla Structures and STAAD improve the workflow in the design phase at engineering offices. The modeling of the physical structure starts in Tekla Structures, whereas the engineer will achieve an understanding about how the structure is put together. With loads, support conditions and other analysis properties set up in Tekla Structures, the model can then be analyzed in STAAD. After analysis in STAAD, the data results, for example section property changes are automatically integrated back into Tekla Structures model.As project changes occur, the updated Tekla Structures model can be re-analyzed and incorporated into STAAD at any time, while changes from STAAD can re-update the Tekla model and engineering drawings.The integration between Tekla Structures and STAAD is done through standard Open Application Programming Interfaces (API) that enables roundtrip functionality and good maintainability of the integrated workflow.
Download Staad Pro ebook about Designing of Steel Structure Using Staad Pro. A step by step procedure of designing steel structure in Staad Pro STAAD is a comprehensive structural engineering software that addresses all aspects of structural engineering analysis,design,verification and visualization STAAD performs the analysis and design of the structure for different types of structures such as trusses ,plane,space and floors.
The above figure shows a truss from several truss supposed to cover certain area.As shown the truss has a cantilever part ,its span equals 4 meters.The proposed truss depth is 3 m.The loads are shown as concentrated on tuss joints.The values of its load case are shown .
Use all the data you take in steel course to design and analyze steel truss.
Main Steps Of Modeling Truss in STAAD PRO
Entering Job information
Building model geometry
Defining member properties ,sections
Assigning Loads(Load Cases and combination)
Defining Pre-Analysis Print out,analysis type and Post-Analysis print out
Defining Design Requirements

How to Start Staad Pro The Pic below shows how to start Staad Pro
Click the picture to enlarge
In New File select
Truss
Units (here KN and mm in this example)
The staad Graphical interface will appear as shown in below picture
1-Entering Job Information
2-Building Model (structure) Geometry
Defining Truss Geometry
One of the methods that you can construction lines and then draw on these lines the truss members
Noting that the no. of construction lines is excluding Ist line..
After clicking Snap Node/Beam ,use the mouse and connect between nodes created at the intersections of construction lines
How to see Diagram Labels(Nodes Numbers,Beam Numbers etc) Node and beam labels are a way of identifying the entities we have drawn on the screen, and very useful when dealing with the output results
3. Defining member properties, sections
Property
In which we can define or choose sections properties of the members of the truss.
Spec.:
In which we can define or choose members’ specifications.
Support:
In which we can define the supports properties (restraints).
Load:
In which we can define the applied loads, load cases, load combinations.
Material
In which we can define the material properties (ex. E, density, etc.)
Assume Preliminary Sections: Using The Canadian Steel Tables
All Top and Bot chords are one size L 55*55*3 All Diagonals and verticals are one size L 45 * 45* 3
Assigning the sections created to the model
Supports
By clicking on the support icon the shown window will appear. We have to create new kinds of supports
Use the mouse and click on the nodes according to its support type as shown below
4. Defining Loads The creation and assignment of load cases involves the following two steps:
1. First, we will be creating all 3-load cases.
2. Then, we will be assigning them to the respective members/nodes
For example
Dead Load Case can be Load Case No.1
Live Load Case can be Load Case No. 2 and Wind Load is the Case No.3
Also, we can define load combinations according to required.
For example, we can create a load combination
1.25 D.L. + 1.5 L.L + 0.8 W.L.
and In Dead Load Create the Self weight as
In each Load Case Creat the Nodal Loads on truss as specified before.Make sure of the direction of forces acording to global coordinates
After Creating the commond of (Perform Analysis-Check);We have to assign the members that want to be this type of analysis for it.
Click Assign and then use the cursor and choose all the members,thus all the members should be highlighted as shown below.
Pre-Print To add the Pre-Print Commond click" Define Commands"
For example here we have choosen to print the support reactions,member forces,joint displacements
Post Print Commands
Support reactions
Analysis results
Member Forces
Max Forces
Add which property you need and then use cursor to ASSIGN to which member in the truss
6-Defining Design Requirements Steps
1. To Specify steel design parameters,go to Design/Steel page from the left side of the screen.Make sure that under the Current Code selections on the top right hand side ,Canadian is selected.
There are many Design Commands in the STAAD Design subroutine.Here,we will use only to Check Code,regarding adequacy of members.
7-Analysis & Viewing Results STAAD Performs Analysis and Design simultaneously. In order to Perform Analysis and Design,select the Run Analysis option from the Analyze menu
When you select the Run Analysis option from the Analyze menu,the following dialog box appears.We are presented with the choice of 2 engines.the STAAD engine and the STARDYNEAdvanced Analysis engine.The STARDYNE Analysis engine is suitable for advanced problems such as Buckling Analysis,ModaL Extraction using various method ,etc
STAAD engine is suitable for this tutorial. Click on th Run Analysis button.
The soloving process is shown in pop up screen.
Visualization of Some Results
Note Generally,in any program ,try to make some checks about the shapes of defletions,BMD,SFD.Also check the level of reactions. Just to make sure that there is no significant nput error.
Viewing The OutPut File During the analysis process,STAAD creates an Output file .This file provides important information on whether the analysis was performed properly.
For example,if STAAD.Pro encounters an instability problem during the nalysis process,it will be reported in the output file.
Alternatively ,we can select the File/View/Output File/STAAD Output option from the top menu.
The Output File Its name is <>
As shown for example ,below are the results of the steel design check.
The End..
