M. Checking Your Model

STAAD.Pro comes with a number of tools used to check your structure and model objects.

M. To check for multiple structures
To check for multiple, independently defined set of entities in your model, use the following procedure.
M. To check for warped plates
A warped plate is defined as a four-noded plate whose nodes do not lie on the same plane. This tool detects such plates.
M. To check for and remove duplicate entities
To detect the presence of and remove instances of nodes, beams, plates, etc. which are duplicates, use the following procedure.
M. To detect and remove zero length members
M. To check for overlapping collinear members
M. To change a beam incidence
To change the incidences of a selected set of beams, use the following procedure.
M. To detect and remove orphan nodes
To detect and then remove nodes which are not connected to any other model entity (i.e., orphan nodes), use the following procedure.
M. To display the distance between two nodes
To temporarily display the dimension between two nodes in the active View window, use the following procedure.
M. To display beam lengths
To display the lengths of each analytical member, use the following procedure.
M. To check for negative volume solids
To check for solids that would result in a negative volume in the analysis, do the following.
