To determine whether a column is a no sway or a sway column, stability index Q may be computed as given in annex-e of IS456. It's a very time consuming and cumbersome calculation while we are freezing the column sizes. if Q is directly calculated ...

Requesting to add NSCP 2022 Philippines Seismic Load(similar to ASCE 7-10) addition to STAAD.Pro. Xstructures can provide all formula and technical documentation

STAAD.Pro- software is using EN1993-1-1 Eurocode 3 2005, - this is not the latest version of this design code. How do we go about updating this in STAAD-Pro ? We need to be using the latest design code for compliance with our EN1090 fabrication wo...

STAAD.Pro has offered aluminum design and ASD code checking for many years based on the 1994 Aluminum Design Manual. Since that publication was issued 26 years ago, there have been five subsequent versions released in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2...

I am liking this new calculator it super cool. But I have two ideas to build on it 1) The training video that Bentley created to demonstrate this calculator had the demonstrator use the calculator and then open up the input file to delete out the ...

Hello, Could you introduce "Dynamic Pictures" in STAAD? Engineers spend a good amount of time in generating clearly annotated and detailed reports within all project's lifecycle. In a competitive environment, hitting timelines is paramount. A dyna...

I was really hoping that OpenSTAAD had a method that would be able to take pictures of my model for me. I can't seem to find anything that suggest this is possible. We create reports that are being submitted, and generally we snap pictures of the ...

Create a default way to see the design of one or multiple selected steel beams. Once I select code and "design all". I would like to be able to click on one or more beams and instantly have a button to view the full design input and output. I beli...

Hi, Typically, to get end forces to design the connection for a certain beam size, a group is created and the bounding beam forces for the group are extracted using the "Beam Results - Beam Forces - Summary table" using the "Results Setup - Range ...

It is new code introduced by IS Commitee for Steel Design. Those engineers working on STEEL Design across any industry will have to use all codal provisions suggested by IS8168. Accordingly STAAD Pro has to be upgraded.
