Currently, according to Bentley Support, the Material Definition properties are only used in the Connection Design module and are not used for steel design & code checking. The SGR, FYLD, FU parameters must be used instead to define the materi...

In the current AIJ2005 code allowable stress calculation of STAAD.Pro, the Young's modulus is fixed at 205000 (N/mm2). On the other hand, in the AIJ2002 code, by using the YNG=1 parameter, the Young's modulus used in the frame analysis can be use...

Please consider adding an autosave feature. A real autosave not a prompt that appears every so often minutes asking you to save. One that will autosave without input. Autosave is pretty much a standard now across a variety of softwares, so constan...

The Nuclear Code AISC N690 has not been updated since the 1994 edtion. It is not available for the recent nuclear power plant project, I bought a Nuclear Code, but it is useless because it has not been updated.so please update it.

Currently OpenSTAAD provides OpenSTAADUI:AnalyzeEx() which upon completion of the analysis returns an integer indicating the status analysis. However, it will be helpful if there is a function which provides more information about the Errors and W...

StaadPro provides the option to create a custom open section by defining a profile polygon (refer to the snapshot attached). Sections created this can be visualized as 3D objects when rendered instead of just showing a simple line. This helps in c...

Please find the combination of three models by different engineer. Under this when finally local stresses are checked, the contours are not smooth. if by any chance local axis of elements can be change, this will same a valuable time of re modelli...

Because you must create multiple wind definitions for wind along a single direction (i.e. windward, leeward, sidewall) it would be helpful to have the ability to combine these in a single load case. Combining them in the load combos is cumbersome....

There is the command NSF that modifies the net area of the whole member, but there isn't a command to modify the net area of the tension flange only to apply it to section F13 in AISC.
