I would like to import a Staad model to SFA then design a pile cap based on the reactions and then design the piles supporting the pile cap. I see that there is a drilled pier module within plant foundations, but I can't seem to import the loads. ...

The Orientation Settings window provides the option "Use the center of the structure as the rotation center". However, when i perform the "Display Whole Structure" function, the rotation center is reset to 0,0,0. This happens when the Orientation ...

Staad pro should have an option to model each and every type of staircase like single flight (straight)stairs,dog ledged strair, spiral stair, U shape stairs,L shape stairs,winder, double winder, 2 quarter winder, 2 quarter landing,curved staircas...

HDR designs many concrete water tanks (round and square). We use STAAD to generate a FEM mesh and then use the stresses to design the concrete elements with load factors unique to ACI-350.

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...

Hello i would like to drop my suggestion for consideration, as we know up to now Wind Load generator, can only generate wind on panels. But during design we may have to apply corner wind pressure especially in connection design and also to apply w...

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...

There is currently no efficient way to consider the live load reduction factor in STAAD.Pro. It would be fantastic to add a parameter to the design section (e.g., under CSA S16-19 or AISC 360-16) to consider a live load reduction on an element by ...

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...

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...
