It would be great to be able to mesh a STAAD stick model using the assigned profiles (i.e. having the software replace the beam with a set of plates to match the flange/web sizes and thicknesses) in order to do some high level finite element analy...

Currently, the reports from STAAD Connection Design are stored in .doc format which is outdated. Please update this to the current format supported by word.

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...

User use different software for modelling building depending on how much user-friendly the software is. Now reactions at base level are required to design mat or any footing for which SFA can be used. But since there is no option like in earlier o...

For Inclusion of built up section in standard I section combination with Channel section on top flange, which is widely used for gantry girder.

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: ...

in standard section data base only 90Deg hat is available, we are mostly using 75Deg hat

Sometimes, a member requires the assignment of a Beta Angle for a particular member, but after some iterations, it might not be needed. In the Beta Angle assignment tab, when someone defines a Beta Angle, it exists—but Beta Angle 0 is removed. In ...

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 ...

Star section or similar section modeled in Shape editor converts it into a SLENDER section and so staad does not design such sections for moment. Numerous times we use such builtup sections, it would be helpful if staad does design for these secti...
