29. Select the four base nodes of the stiffeners as illustrated in Figure 18.
Figure 15: Copy grid option.
24. You will notice a Stiffener_top entry in the Data Area. Turn on the Stiffener_top grid. 25. Click on the edit button in the Data Area. 26. The Radial grid options dialog box will appear. Enter the parameters as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 18: Four bottom nodes of the stiffener plates selected.
30. Click on Geometry->Translational Repeat menu command.

Figure 23: Unwanted elements selected in the graphics window. Figure 21: Sloping edges of plate stiffeners created.
34. We would like to use the Plate Infill command to create the plate elements for the pipe. We will use the Generate Surface Meshing Tool to generate the mesh for the stiffeners. The Parametric Meshing Tool will be used to generate the mesh for the base plate. Select the plan view of the geometry that we have created. 35. Rubberband the beam elements that represent the pipe section. You will end up picking up some unwanted elements also.
38. Select the Select->By Inverse->Inverse Beam Selection menu command. 39. The elements that represent the pipe section will be highlighted. 40. Right click in the graphics window and select the New View option. 41. Select the Display View in Active Window option. 42. Select the isometric view option. 43. Select all the beam elements as shown in Figure 24. You could use the Ctrl+A shortcut keys on your keyboard to select all the beam elements.
Figure 22: Rubberband the elements that represent the pipe section.
36. Click on the View->View Selected Objects Only menu command. 37. Now in the plan view, you will only see the elements that represent the pipe and some stiffener elements. Select all the unwanted elements in the graphics window as shown in Figure 23.
Figure 24: Unwanted elements selected in the graphics window.
44. Select the Geometry->Create Infill Plates menu command. The dialog box shown in Figure 25 will appear.

51. Enter that inputs in the Insert Node/Nodes dialog box as shown in Figure 25. 52. Get a good isometric view of one of the stiffener plates. 53. Rubberband the stiffener plate elements as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 25: Message Box - 40 plates are created.
46. Click on plate elements are created between that new the Ok button and you will notice the areas bounded by the beam elements. 47. Click on the View->Whole Structure menu command. 48. We will break the sloping part of the stiffeners into five parts. Select the sloping part of the stiffeners in the graphics window as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26: Stiffener plate selected
54. Click on View->View Selected Objects Only menu command. 55. Select the Geometry->Generate Surface Meshing menu command.
Figure 26: Sloping edges of stiffeners are selected.
49. Click on the Geometry->Insert Node menu command. 50. The Insert Node/Nodes dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 27.
Figure 27: Node Points for Generate Surface Meshing command
56. You will notice that your mouse cursor has changed. Select the nodes on the edge of the stiffener plate in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion as indicated in Figure 27. Select the node that you started off from when you are done.

59. Select the Plates cursor and select all the newly created plate elements in the graphic window. 60. Click on Geometry->Circular Repeat menu Command. 61. The 3D Circular dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 31.
Figure 28: Sloping edges of stiffeners are selected.
57. The Define Mesh Region dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 28. Enter 1 for all rows in the Div. column as illustrated in Figure 29. We are telling STAAD.Pro to avoid dividing each of the divided edges into smaller pieces.
Figure 31: Meshing for stiffeners.
62. Enter the inputs in the 3D Circular dialog box as shown in Figure 31. 63. Click the Ok button. You will notice that all the stiffener plates have been created as shown in Figure 32.
Figure 29: Number of edge divisions set to 1.
58. Click on the Ok button. You will note that the meshing for the stiffener has been created as shown in Figure 30.
64. Select the View->Whole Structure menu

64. Select the View->Whole Structure menu command. 65. We will need to divide the base plate edges into 12 parts. Select the four base plate edges and select the Geometry->Insert Node menu command.
74. The Mesh Parameters dialog box will appear as illustrated in Figure 35.
66. The Insert Node/Nodes dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 33. 67. Enter that inputs in the Insert Node/Nodes dialog box as shown in Figure 33. 68. We will draw the base plate using the Parametric Meshing Tool. Click on the Geometry->Parametric Meshing control tab on your left. 69. Click on the Add button in the Data Area. The New Mesh Model dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 34.
75. Set the inputs as shown in Figure 33 and click the Ok button. 76. Click on the No button for the following dialog box. 77. You will see a mesh preview. This preview mode lets the user identify any problems in the FEM model. In Figure 34, we can see that there is a plate connectivity problem at the pipe/base plate interface.

70. Type a mesh name as shown in Figure 34 (i.e. BasePlate). 71. Click on the Ok button. 72. You will notice that the mouse cursor will change. 73. Select the four corner nodes in the clockwise or counter-clockwise fashion and selectfour starting node once you have selecting the nodes.
78. You can resolve this issue by only generating the mesh for regions marked as R1 and R2 and then doing a circular repeat on the mesh.
Note that we do not have any connectivity problems in this case. 82. Click on the Setup control tab on the left. 83. Select the Select->Plates Parallel to->XZ menu command. 84. Click on Geometry->Circular Repeat menu command. Enter the inputs as shown in Figure 38.
