In this exercise, you will learn how to analyze the structure.

1. Continue with the model from the previous exercise.

2. In the Ribbon toolbar, select the Analysis and Design tab and then click on the Run Analysis icon.

3. In the STAAD Analysis and Design dialog, select the View Output File radio button and then click Done.

4. In the STAAD Output File, scroll down until you find the results of the first PERFORM ANALYSIS command (for the first seismic load case):

3. In the menu bar, click File > Exit to return to the STAAD.Pro Modeling Mode.

4. In the Workflow Page Control, click on the Loading page.

5. In the Load & Definition dialog, highlight the 1: SEISMIC LOAD +X > IS LOAD X 1.

STAAD.Pro has calculated the following loads that were imposed on the structure:

Point Forces: The lateral nodal forces have been determined by STAAD.Pro which has distributed the base shear throughout the structure according to IS 1893: 2016.

6. In the Load & Definition dialog, highlight the 3: SEISMIC LOAD +Z > IS LOAD Z 1.

7. In the Ribbon toolbar, select the View tab and then click on the Label Settings icon.

8. In the Diagrams dialog, modify the following parameter: Load Values: (checked) Then, click OK.

9. In the Quick Access Toolbar, click on the Save icon.
