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,...

As stated in case CS0627780, STAAD.Pro is currently using a section list based on the older version of the standard, IS 808:1989. However, this code has been superseded by the updated version, IS 808:2021. There are significant differences in sect...

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 ...

We would like to submit a product improvement idea regarding the steel column base design module in STAAD.Pro. In current versions, the column base design workflow does not allow users to freely define the location and configuration of stiffener p...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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