I have undertaken a linear static analysis and have a range of utilisations from 0.01 to 1.013. Is it possible for Staad to show utilisations within a certain range e.g UR =0.5 to UR =0.9? I am able to manually select the members from the design results ta
Go to the post-processing mode. Next, go to the Beam> Unity Check page. You should be able to see the UR reported in a tabular form. Click on the “Actual Ratio” column from the right hand side of the window. It arranges the table in the ascending order of URs. Keeping the “ctrl” button pressed, click on the beam numbers in the table. You will see that members with UR ranging from 0.5 to 0.9 are highlighted.
To display them in isolation from the rest of the structure, right click on the drawing area and choose New View > Display view in the active window from the floating window that pops up.
The “Turn on/off Individual Beam Level” icon too can be used to unclutter the drawing. When you select this icon, you will see that there is a change in the cursor image. Rubber band a window around the members whose UR you do not want to see.
