Generate Plate Mesh in STAAD: Part 1 – Infill Plate and Plate Connectivity Problems

Use of finite element mesh in a structural model is very common. From modelling a slab/floor diaphragm, shear wall, foundation to silo, clarifier or culvert - plate element is used in almost all types of structural model.

In this entire video series on plate mesh generation, I will discuss about different mesh generation approaches and how we can model a plate mesh properly in STAAD following correct procedure. In the first part, I have covered the basic plate generation options available in STAAD, like plate grid or Infill panel option and discussed about few common plate connectivity problems and how to fix those issues.
