As of now, moving load feature is available only in vertical plane. But moving load in horizontal plane isn't available yet. But, as per industry demand, moving load to be applied longitudinal and transverse direction, simultaneously. Staad pro s...

Provide the ability to have horizontal moving loads in addition to the vertical loads. For example, ASCE 7 requires cranes to be designed for vertical loads and horizontal loads. It would be great if STAAD had the ability to have both the vertical...

Currently the only way to check the deflection of a slab is to review the deflected shape of the shells' mesh, or in the tabulated results. It would be very useful if the contour plots for shells included the option to contour deflections as well ...

I am trying to model in physical modeler of staad and it gives random orientation of plates. Now if I have to read and visualize the stress in particular direction ( not only for one line), i am not able to do that. if possible, please provide a b...

Steel Auto-Drafter draws member releases with a 20mm offset by default. The user would like to set this offset distance to an arbitrary distance. Additionally, the user would like to set separate distances for each of the following members: ...

I consider that the way of using openstaad with VBA is somewhat tedious due to the characteristics of that programming language, therefore, my idea is to propose an openstaad repository but focused on python, which, in my opinion, would facilitate...

Extend the current tapered tube definition to allow for the specification and analysis of tapered rectangular tube profiles (i..e where the length of the two side dimensions differs). Currently STAAD.Pro supports the definition and analysis of tap...

I think the wind load application should be rewritten to make it simpler and more user friendly. STAAD is at least three times as long as SAP2000 when inputting wind loads.

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).
