In the OpenSTAAD module, the function to extract plate corner stress results is currently not available. Kindly include the appropriate OpenSTAAD function or method to retrieve plate corner stresses. Thank you.

STAAD.Pro already supports Eurocode for steel and concrete design, but it still doesn’t have automatic wind and seismic load generation according to Eurocode. Why is this feature missing, and when can we expect Bentley to add it? With so many Euro...

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

To correctly use the ASCE 7 load combinations including atmospheric ice, the ice load (Di) needs to be separate from the member self weight. As STAAD does not include an ice load generation tool, fireproofing can be used to apply ice loads to memb...

In the plant engineering industry, it is a common practice to submit deliverables such as drawings and calculation reports in multiple stages (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd submissions). During each stage, it is also standard to update calculations to refle...

For Providing a Steel Box section with different Flange and web thickness , we have to make the section in Section Wizard which is time consuming during Optimization and also 3D visualisation is not there. If the feature similar to Tube in User pr...

After being introduced to StaadPRO, the one fundamental thing that I can't believe is not implemented is scaling of local beam axis symbols. It's at times almost impossible to find out the local axis of the beams in the graphic area, and this is v...

Section 12.3 of ASCE 7 - 22 states that unless a diaphragm can be idealized as either flexible or rigid, structural analysis should explicitly include consideration of the stiffness of the diaphragm (i.e. semirigid modeling). I am publishing an ar...

Sometimes, during the initial stages, we may assign a group name—say, XYZ—but later someone might want to change that group name. There should be an option to rename the group without opening the STAAD editor file.

We have noticed that, under certain configurations, the “Effective Length Calculator” tool in STAAD.Pro may yield results that are not conservative, which poses a risk to the structural safety of the project. Allowing users to validate and manuall...
