Need to enhance the tool which is used to export the STAAD model to SACS. Belows points need to be taken care when enhancingthe feature.
Section properties created in staad using ‘USER TABLES’ are not supported
RHS/SHS sections imported to SACS as concentric tubulars and not boxes.
Member offsets set to fractions of an inch, i.e., 0.66” in SACS and 283mm in Staad
Some prismatic sections created in Staad not imported to SACS
No loads cases or combinations imported to SACS
Material properties reset to American-imperial (ksi/in-ft etc) and not metric.
Refer Feature (PBI) #749491
Thank you for posting this idea. This will be shared with the SACS development team that implmented the tool.
