Staad Tutorial

The document provides instructions for applying loads to a truss structure for analysis in the following steps: 1) Define a wind load case under the definitions section and assign wind speed and structure type parameters. 2) Input main building data such as dimensions and natural frequency. 3) Calculate design wind pressures and assign to the load case view. 4) Add self-weight and roof live load cases and assign loads to selected beams and plates. 5) Apply wind pressures in the X and Z directions to the truss and purlins by extending the pressures in the load cases.
