If there is no particular reason why the Russian steel design codes(SP 16.13330) do not provide parameters for drift verification (such as CAN in AISC), I would like to formally request that they be added.

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...

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

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.

As the use of cold form sections becomes more prevalent, it's essential for STAAD to support C and Z shapes more comprehensively. These sections vary significantly across manufacturers and are not always available in the STAAD database. Furthermor...

There is no option for 4 plates or tube beams with different thickness. Also, it could be fantastic an option with tapered tube section with different flange width or thickness

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...

Dear Bentley Team, I am writing to request the implementation of the following features in STAAD Foundation Advanced 2024 to significantly improve the isolated footing modeling workflow: Direct Subgrade Modulus Assignment: Enable the direct assign...

Details: Generation of Native Tables: STAAD.Pro Advance should create tables using Microsoft Word's internal structure. Basic Format Maintenance: Maintain borders and initial alignment to facilitate identification, prioritizing editability. Text N...

Please include the ability to edit the pedestal height in footings created from STAAD Pro reference files. Currently, editing is blocked after defining "Top Level," forcing footing remodeling. This limitation impacts design efficiency and accuracy...
