As most of the functions exposed in OpenSTAAD uses the surfaceId to target a specific parametric surface, a function to retrieve the Id of the parametric surface by specifying it's name will be essential. I tried using the existing function GetPar...

Usually we start creating the parametric surface mesh by assigning a name. However, there will be situations where we need to clear all the existing mesh definitions and then start afresh. It will be much helpful if there is a function in OpenSTAA...

STAAD.Pro 2024 output data is published via the Reports module. That data for one structural model can be used to present different subjects. Unfortunately, the 2024 report pages do not include a line in the header to show the "SUBJECT" of that pr...

In the new 2023 version, the new report builder doesn't allow you to include the failed member list when there aren't any failed members. v22 did allow for that and would report there are no failed members. Which was an easy concise way of saying ...

Dear Colleagues, // STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition - Version 22.12.00.142 // there was a situation where we had to find out the lateral forces due to wind on a light pole (tapered profile) and provide suitable support for the same. Wind was applied usi...

The accidental eccentricity in staad pro. as per Eurocode 1998:2004, while analyzing the structure for seismic loads using response spectra method.

we conventionally add a new job and assign all the parameters from scratch while trying to replicate a similar footing desing within the same STAAD.Foundation file. however adding a cop/replicate/clone job might save time avoid the chance of missi...

Under Properties in Analytical Modeling, one can currently only highlight assigned geometry for a single section at a time. A button could be added to the table that allows you to show all section properties in the current view by color, and then ...

it might also be helpful, if we can add the MERGE NODE tool in the "popup" Node tools when many nodes are selected (just like MERGE BEAM tool is included in the "popup" Beam tools) and the CONNECT BEAMS and COLLINEAR BEAMS tool also (to generate b...

Can we have a single query where we can have both the Bending Moments, and Shear forces can be sketched in the query report? adding the Deflection Diagram would also be an added advantage.
