It is understood that while performing response spectrum analysis, the scale factor (V_b/V_B ) Where,V_b=Equivalent static base shear,〖 V〗_B Response spectrum base shear), is automatically accounted for calculation of design base shear. But,this s...

Hi, I have an OpenSTAAD program that generates groups and that applies loads to the elements/beams/nodes in those groups. However I'd like to apply the load to the group directly using openSTAAD as you can in the STAAD Command File? What I want to...

STAAD does not consider the additional width of the fireproofed members; producing underestimated wind generated loads for open structures like piperacks. Please include this feature as this would make several of my colleagues happy.

To update/include the specifications for mexican regulation for Ciudad de Mexico to the latest version 2023 which include loads specifications, seismic, wind, or at least the steel and concrete.

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 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...

Many codes, particularly IS 1893 part-2 and IS 3370 part-2, the RCC elevated/underground water retaining structure should be analyse and design in "TANK ENPTY" and "TANK FULL" both of the conditions, but staad pro seismic definition whether it is ...

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...

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...

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...
