Till now, staad pro has an option to assign plates of various thickness, but it should also have an option to model such plates in TRAPEZOIDAL PATTERN as shown in below images,which is frequently used to model raft foundation, also placement and b...

It will be helpful if a function for applying the hydrostatic forces on plate elements either by selecting a group of plates or a selecting a single plate e.g., the PlateID and the pressure at four corners of the plate. Many a times applying the p...

Staad pro doesn't support for modelling of rigid diaphragm for inclined floor/inclined slab/inclined roof, so that response spectrum analysis can not be achieved in this case, so it is necessary to implement feature of modelling rigid diaphragm/se...

Optimization of steel structure in staad pro as per (Indian code like IS-800 _2007, IS-801 etc. has many limitations till now. It has to be resolved earlier, Some of limitations are ~ optimization for tapered sections not supported by staad ~ opti...

It would be nice to be able to apply wind loads on plate elements. Especially given that there is a wind load definition specifically for tanks, but no way to model that tank other than plate elements. The alternatives are a cumbersome to implemen...

Now a days, construction of high rise building are very common in India, and it is very necessary to implement code for the same like IS 16700 with new amendments in 2023, kindly implement the same in staad as early stage, with all clauses like co...

There exists a function to create a new design brief OSDesignUI::CreateDesingBrief(). However, there is no function to remove/delete existing design brief(s). Please review and consider adding this function.

STAAD does not have NZS 1170.5 in its Seismic Codes. Users in ANZ uses custom spectrum and factored it up to match the base shear. Adding this code will help the users in ANZ work directly with the NZ code and thus speed up their productivity. Use...

In a multistorey steel structure, chequered plates and grating are widely used (as like slab used in RCDC) building, there is an option of modelling RCC slab in staad pro,like parametric modelling option,plate element option etc, but there isn't a...

it is a very useful option when you are trying to hide some selected entity for better view. HIDE SELECTED OBJECT rather than using invert Selection and other ways.
