STAAD PLANE
*
* ___*** 1st line has to start with STAAD !!! ***___
*
* Let us learn STAAD Pro as Hacker
* If you are Geek, like coding, you may like this approach
* Copy right: H.S.Rai
*
* The 1st command start with STAAD and 2nd word specify type of problem
* you are attempting to solve. It may be PLANE, SPACE, GIRD, TRUSS
* The 1st problem we are going to solve is a Simply Supported Beam
* so we use PLANE, that is meant for 2D frame structures.
*
* All lines starting with "*" is a comment, only for reader, and
* STAAD Pro software will ignore all such lines.
*
* Information related to JOB you are undertaking and team working on
* JOB is given in a block "JOB INFORMATION" which includes all lines
* between line "START JOB INFORMATION" and "END JOB INFORMATION"
* Job information starts below:
START JOB INFORMATION
* Name of Job: In current case a problem of "Cantilevered Beam", so is
* written as "Cantilever Beam":
JOB NAME Cantilever Beam
* Name of client is typed after CLIENT as shown below
JOB CLIENT Hardeep Singh Rai
* Job number, if you keep record in your office, in xample, we used
* "Pb/Ldh/102" as Job Number
JOB NO Pb/Ldh/102
* Corrections /  Improvements resuts in many revisions, so keep track
* of revision in key word "REV"
JOB REV 1.0
* If current analysis is for a part of some big structure, then refer
* it after "PART"
JOB PART Beam
* Reference number, for record / documentation purpose
JOB REF Tutorial/01
* Any comment for your help / reference
JOB COMMENT Analysis of Cantilever Beam
* Normaly a team consist of Engineer, who create this file for analysis
* and design, then it is checked by a checker and further approved by
* their boss. Name of ENGINEER, CHECKER AND APPROVING AUTHORITY and
* date of their action is recorded below:
ENGINEER NAME HSR
CHECKER NAME NR
APPROVED NAME AR
ENGINEER DATE 07-Nov-15
CHECKER DATE 07-Nov-15
APPROVED DATE 07-Nov-15
END JOB INFORMATION
* Job information ends with above line
* The length of characters in each line of this input file is limited
* to 79.
* Any thing written after this will b eignored and thus results in
* error when you run STAAD-Pro
INPUT WIDTH 79
* All examples are with units meter and Newtons for linear dimensions
* and force respectively.
* The joint (End points of frame members, also called "node") are
* numberes, and each number is follwoed by x y z value of node. Each
* one such set it terminated by ";" enabling you to put more
* information in a line, like 2 nodes are created in a line below:
UNIT MMS NEWTON
JOINT COORDINATES
1 0 0 0; 2 3000 0 0;
* Following define members of frame (Beam or Column), 1st number is
* member number, and next two are starting node (Joint) number and
* end node number, terminatin by ";", to enable multiple member
* definition in a line.
MEMBER INCIDENCES
1 1 2;
* Material properties to be used in analysis, many materila may be
* defined in block names "DEFINE MATERIAL", between START AND END.
