 FRAME ANALYSIS

Frame Analysis Flow Chart

Start

Create the Structure frame manually or

importing from AutoCAD to STAAD Pro

Assign the properties of the members of the structure depending on their

respective sizes, thickness, and material classification

Create Load Definitions

(Dead Load, Live Load, Seismic Load, Wind Load)

Create Load Cases

(Load Combinations)

Assign the loads separately along

x and z directions

Analyze the data

Print the results
