Add the ASME-STS-1 2021 file as an option for the results of the analysis. There are only four equations from ASME, then everything defaults to AISC 2016, so most of the work is done.

Currently after run analysis we can see the status of design in postprocessing. If fail design appear, now we have to edit and rerun all model and check if edition is good or not. When only 5~10% of members fails, and in large models, this is very...

When we are assigning ISMB 400*450 Box Section (Double Profile) while designing in Code IS-800-2007-LSD , Members are not able to design & Error coming. Kindly resolve the issue.

Unless I am mistaken in order to run a direct analysis, you specify notional loads. However, per the specification it is allowable to use direct modeling of imperfections per C.2a. There is a way to specify camber and drift for members, but from w...

When designing concrete members in Staad.Pro, detailed design information can be seen in batch mode using TRACK command. One useful detail is the design ratio Pu/Pn. If that value can be shown the same way is shown for steel design it can speed up...

It is painful task to add DJ1 and DJ2 for deflection check in design paramter. Instead create SPAN command , which allows to add a set of members in a SPAN command to calculation local y and z deflection and actual DFF against allowable DFF. This ...

I think it is a good idea to allow users to name their Tapered sections as with the prismatic sections or sections created by user table. Because many times user creates many tapered sections in his model, andt when it comes to modifying one of th...

In Staad, is there any way to reduce the size of pin symbol and beam orientation symbol? Like support symbols. Thanks

Include a Design category as part of the load case/combination definition so that when a design includes the load case/combination, it 'knows' how to consider the analysis results in the design without having to create a load envelope of a given t...
