Staad by default adds some materials to the model (please refer to the snapshot attached). Majority of these will not be used during automation (as the materials will be created separately based on the need) and hence the materials section remains...

In recent times, I have been designing a large number of buried underground structures. (I figured many Engineers may have similar experiences on this too). For buried structures, a few of the applied loads are a function of a single variable i.e....

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...

Could you please add shortcut to view Plate stresses Graphical Contours ( Mx, My, Mxy, SQx, SQy, Sx, Sy) in the Customize quick commands Pop-Up shortcut using space bar. The current function only brings up tables which is a bit cumbersome when mak...

Currently, if there are multiple design blocks present in a STAAD model, in the post-processing utilization table, design ratio from the last design block is reported. It is very common to define multiple design blocks with different set of parame...

To streamline the design process using the OpenSTAAD function, we aim to automate the visualization of member stress ratios for each analysis. Currently, when employing the "objOpenSTAAD.View.SetModeSectionPage 1, 6, 19" function, the stress ratio...

To update/include the specifications for mexican regulation for Ciudad de Mexico to the latest version 2023 which include loads specifications, seismic, wind, or at least the steel and concrete.

When designing concrete members in Staad.Pro, detailed design information can be seen in batch mode using TRACK command. One useful detail is the design ratio Pu/Pn. If that value can be shown the same way is shown for steel design it can speed up...

I often create models with multiple support conditions. Because of STAAD's requirements on support degrees of freedom I have to model lift cases first. This means that I cannot model seismic cases first as required if I want to use STAAD's seismic...
