Hello, I am using the STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition V9 to analyse a mat foundation. The analysis result show that some nodes have unreasonable displacements. And the total applied load and the total reaction load are not equal. Thanks， Wang Yalin

Forum Post: Easy procedure to google account recovery without phone number
IMPORTANT TIPS FOR GOOGLE ACCOUNT RECOVERY WITHOUT PHONE NUMBER On the off chance that your google account recovery without phone number or another alternative you may, in any case, have the option to recoup Gmail® secret phrase by physically checking your character. The main thing you have to do is visit the Google Account Recovery page. When there, enter your email address and snap "Proceed". Snap "I don't have a clue" choice for the secret word and pick the "Confirm your character" alternative, which is a tiny connection under all other accessible choices. Answer every one of the inquiries as far as you could possibly know and on the off chance that you can give the data that is exact enough you'll get an effective Google account recuperation.

Forum Post: What is the difference between location and material resources?
I am a new user and am curious about what the difference between the different types of resources are. Particularly the difference between location and material resources are. I have tried looking in the Synchro help files and online resources and haven't been able to find much information.

Forum Post: RE: What is the difference between location and material resources?
Hi Levi - General practice of construction estimating and scheduling has the concept of labor, material and equipment resources. As SYNCHRO Pro is a scheduling software, any schedule and activities can be resource loaded with those types of resources. Location resource is a synchro specific resource as SYNCHRO Pro is a visual planning product. Location resource can be used on any 3D object representing location such as laydown area or exclusion zone. Material resource can be concrete, steel or any construction materials required to build the project. Hope this helps.

Wiki Page: ConstructSIM Modeling Known Issues
There is no upgrade path for user data New product versions does not support data from previous versions and no upgrade path is possible. Multi users conflict resolution is not supported Cost code assignment and slicing operation conflicts are not handled and might result in incorrect data and geometry No design change management Cost code configuration updates are not supported Volume is not calculated for sliced element that is composed from two or more chucks with gaps between them. Volume is not calculated for some Earthworks and Fill elements Calculated volume of sliced bridge barriers and deck components is different compared to the volume of the same components before the slice. Volume calculated before the slice is the correct one. Sometimes volume value isn't calculated for one or two pieces of sliced component, when slice was performed on curved or bent component. Sometimes application freezes when long road components are being split in two big parts. This doesn't happen when these road components are being split in smaller pieces. Unit of measurement abbreviation in column "UOM" (in "Reporting" grid) doesn’t change when calculated quantity is converted to another UOM using "Convert to" functionality. This issue is also seen in exported CSV file. Order of assigned components is different in "Reporting" grid and exported CSV file: in "Reporting" grid components aren't listed alphabetically in exported CSV file components are listed alphabetically Order of assigned work steps is different as well: in "Reporting" grid work steps are listed alphabetically in exported CSV file work steps are listed according to work step code

Wiki Page: Cost codes configuration file
The cost codes breakdown structure needs to be defined in the Excel file. Use the provided sample cost code configuration file as an example to define your own structure. There are certain rules on how the configuration file needs to be setup: Variables sheet. Variables are used in formulas to calculate quantity for each work step. There are three types of variables: Project Variables ($variable) are used to describe project or company specific variables like asphalt density, waste factor, etc., that does not come from the model. It is important to take unit of measurement (UOM) into consideration when specifying values for project variables. Start variable name with "$" Automatically calculated variables ($$variable). Currently we support these automatically calculated variables: $$area, $$volume and $$each. Quantity is automatically calculated for those work steps where variables $$area, $$volume or $$each are specified in the formula. Model based variables ($$$variable). Any model/design measurement like length, height, etc., or element property can be used as model-based variable in quantity formula. You can specify value for these variables within ConstructSim Modeling. Work-steps sheet . List all the cost codes and their work-steps in the Work-steps sheet. You’ll see these cost codes in ConstructSim Modeling application and you’ll be able to assign them to selected components. Children work-steps are assigned automatically. Quantity is calculated at the work step level. Each cost code should have at least one work step; multiple work steps could be listed for the same cost code. Make sure to specify the code and the name for each item, otherwise an error occurs during file upload. Cost codes of the highest level are defined at the left side, while their children cost codes are defined at the right. Information about parent cost code should be repeated in every row for all work-steps associated with that cost code. Geometric extraction sheet. Geometric extraction is a surface of an object or the object itself. Assignments of cost codes are made based on geometric extractions meaning that a cost code can be assigned to either the whole object or its surface only. Specify geometric extraction Name for Object/ Element that is used in the "Work Steps" Sheet . Do not modify or delete Object / Element Geometric Extraction (cell A8) as it will result as a failure during configuration file upload . Only Object / Element geometric extraction is supported in EAP. UOM sheet . List all units of measurement with abbreviations that are used in work steps. This is important for correct and precise quantity calculation. All abbreviations should be unique. Two different “Unit Names” cannot have the same abbreviation. Do not modify, delete or add new Names of Length, Area and Volume units of measurement (column B) as it may result as a failure during config file upload. Abbreviations (column C) of Length, Area and Volume units of measurements can be changed. Other units used in work steps formulas should be defined in UOM sheet as well. Specify ‘Custom’ classification in column A, leave Unit Name column empty and specify appropriate abbreviation in column C. Default sheets names are provided in sample cost code configuration Excel file. Do not change sheets names as it might result in a failure during configuration file upload. Once the cost codes configuration file is successfully prepared, upload it to the SYNCHRO CONTROL website -> Administration -> Cost Code Configuration. Construction Modeler will automatically download cost code configuration from SYNCHRO CONTROL for selected project.

Wiki Page: Cost code assignment
Cost codes widget lists cost codes from uploaded Excel spreadsheet. It allows to assign cost code to a selected 3D component. All child work steps will be automatically assigned and quantities will be calculated for volume, area and each variables during cost code assignment. All assignments with calculated quantities are listed in the “Reporting” grid. communities.bentley.com/.../AssignmentPavement.mp4 communities.bentley.com/.../ReviewAssignmentPavement.mp4
