Currently, copying or renaming the SFA file or folder breaks the link with STAAD.Pro and cannot be restored. This is problematic for users wishing to explore multiple design options. It is fairly common practice to make a backup of your work and p...

Staad.Pro has tools to select member sections, but even those are not optimum, and custom selection of a member section by hand may be more precise. But changing by hand and re-analyzing all the structure is very time consuming. The idea is to be ...

The node‑to‑node distance tool in STAAD.Pro is quite basic and, in its current form, not particularly useful when distances need to be measured independently along the X, Y, and Z axes. Bentley already provides this functionality in some of its ot...

Since STAAD.Pro currently supports earlier IS 1893 versions, having the 2025 version integrated will be essential to ensure code-compliant analysis and safe design in India. The 2025 revision introduces major updates: A revised earthquake zone m...

Can we have the option to enter a -ve value so that the functionality of 'stretch' can also be extended to 'shrink' - which helps especially while working on beams not aligned in the x,y,z axes. (currently, inserting a node and trimming it away on...

When multiple versions of STAAD.Pro are installed on the same system, the most recently installed version is invoked by default, even if the input file was created using an earlier / later version.Therefore, it is recommended to explicitly specify...

Using two materials in beam or column sections enhances structural performance and allows for reduced member sizes. Composite sections exhibit lower deflections under lateral loads such as wind or seismic forces, resulting in reduced damage. Addit...

At present in RCDC beam reinforcement table in coming for reinforcement provided. It is becoming vary tedious task to see the actual reinforcement required at each location to compare the difference B/W actual reinforming required vs provided. So ...

Latest code released in 2023 for designing of steel members is STILL not available in STAAD.Pro. This has already been implemented in MIDAS.

In software like ETABS, you can add or subtract while moving or adding a new beam, but as of now, STAAD does not have this facility. To do this, the user needs a calculator for such tasks. If STAAD had this feature, it would save time and effort a...
