NOTES::

*First copy and paste this input file in your staad input file browser. Run analysis and get out put file Note that file to be imported shoud be in .std
format. Genarally in staad all members of same group are separated by hyphens. We have to replace

*Will size of bolts and nos will automatically reflected in Tekla Structures??

*Basically in the staad input there is a concept of grouping the members with similar characteristics such as member property,
constants or loads in one go. So at the end of that particular group the member property is defined whereas at the end of each line in
that group definition a hyphen *can be seen which indicates the continuation of that particular group.

*So this hyphen has to be replaced by the member property at the end of each and every line for all groups before importing the same
into Tekla *Structures and if there is any user defined c/s given as an input in staad then the same needs to be taken care in Tekla
Structures by defining a *conversion file or revising the profile catalog.
