Problem Description

STAAD.Pro Crashes after run is complete for files with  AISC 360-16 Design when we press Done button.

 

Steps to Reproduce

Run a file that contains tapered and non-tapered members, with AISC 360-16 steel design code, that are all checked within the same parameter block.  After completion of Run click on Done. STAAD crashes and closes. Though it does not happen for all files, but in some files this issue has been noted.

 

Workaround

Run the file. Once the run is complete do not click on DONE button.  

Go to the folder where STAAD file is located. Look for .dbm  file in that folder and delete the same. Now click on "DONE" button and carry on with your work. This will save the file from crashing. All the results will be okay.

The only effect would be that the multiple steel design results view wont be available.

Solution

The problem will be addressed in next release.
