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...

Grid lines are already included when using Auto Drafter. That idea could be very useful in GUI.

The ability to apply horizontal moving loads that move in the vertical direction (up a column) (e.g. elevator loads on a column).

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.

For Blast loads in some cases we have to apply blast load in all the direction i.e x and z in different load cases. presently the time history load is possible only in one load case. Time history should be allowed to be added in mutiple load cases

All tapered section name shows as a tapered . its very useful if staad pro show the tapered section show the section in the display- Tapered I- 300x6+200x8+150x8 if its uniform web depth Tapered I- (300-750)x6+200x8+150x8 if its tapered web depth ...

Spring supports are created only in a particular direction. For e.g. base/soil springs. negative displacement is considered as compression. what if a steel base plate is to be modelled below a concrete slab. There is no way to create a compression...

Set parameters and have the program create a plate mesh automatically for finite element analysis.

Currently, ASCE7-22 is not available in STAAD. Pro. Wind and Seismic load generation with this code is required for our project execution.
