For the design of reinforced concrete slabs, an engineer needs design moments for the top and bottom reinforcement in two directions. STAAD.Pro currently gives the bending moments Mx, My and the twisting moment Mxy, and the Global Moments table ex...

Ref present Staad versions and beam code check according to Eurocode 1993-1-1 Equation 6.61 and 6.62. Staad divide all beams at every incoming beam location and it is not possible to join together several beams to get correct buckling lengths. Eur...

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...

All Input Parameters and Forces reported by STAAD should follow the same convention of Local member axis as lower case and Global Axis as UPPERECASE.For example Input Parameters like LX, LY, LZ, KX, KX, KY should be Lx, Ly, Lz, Kx, Ky, Kz because ...

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...

Dear Bentley Team, Could you please advise when the option to generate wind loads in accordance with ASCE or the Saudi Building Code (SBC) will be available in STAAD? At present, I can only find the wind load generation options for IS 875 (Part 3)...

So OpenSTAAD routine GetSupportInformation for "fixed but" supports outputs for varReleaseSpec the released directions as 1, while the other cases (Pinned for example) outputs the fixed directions as 1. Documentation suggests that it should always...

When a STAAD Foundation model is created from a STAAD.Pro model, that is added to the STAAD.Pro folder. This process creates pointers in both data sets that link the two models together and allow for notification when changes takes place. However,...

Currently, under the Properties tab, all section properties are displayed in the same color, making it difficult to quickly identify different member types in the model. Previously, a color assignment option existed, but users had to manually assi...

Description: Currently, STAAD deletes all analysis results whenever the command file is modified, even for changes that do not affect the structural analysis—such as adding comments, defining groups, or creating envelopes. This forces users to rer...
