Method II: Using the Eigenvalue extraction method:

1) Creat a single load case with all the forces specified in all directions where they can vibrate (X, Y
& Z).
2) All lods must be positive even if they are acting in negative directions because STAAD takes the
algebric sum of all th forces at a joint.
3) Specifiy the “MODAL CALCULATION REQUESTED” COMMAND.
4) Specify the “CUT OFF MODE SHAPE” Command with the number of modes needed.

Example below shows typical specifications for obtaining the dynamic frequency:

CUT OFF MODE SHAPE 10
