Steel Structure Optimization with STAAD: Part 2 -Design Command Sequence|| SELECT, Re-Analysis,GROUP

If we design a steel structure in STAAD using traditional design approach, then we need to manually review the design results and change the section size so that the optimum section is used. This process is time consuming, also it is very hard to find out the most economic section by trial and error method. Proper optimization of the entire structure not only reduces the overall steel weight but also ensure proper distribution of forces. In this video, I have discussed about the correct design command sequence required to optimize any steel structure. We need to use few other commands like RATIO, CHECK CODE and PERFORM ANALYSIS along with the SELECT command for proper optimization. Necessity of each design command and the order of commands are discussed in this video.
