Usually we start creating the parametric surface mesh by assigning a name. However, there will be situations where we need to clear all the existing mesh definitions and then start afresh. It will be much helpful if there is a function in OpenSTAA...

Currently, SFA uses the highest corner pressure to design the foundation size bearing on soil. Please revise the SFA program to have an option for a soil supported foundation (versus a rock supported foundation) and provide revised foundation sizi...

This would cut down the analysis time required by STAAD significantly. If it is too much work to change the solver code to benefit from multi-threads, can at least each basic load or each load combination be run at a different thread? There's no r...

make RCDC design all type footing(single,combine,mat......)combine (RCDC,RCDC FE and staad advance foundation)

There is no way to add wind load in other direction in case of unclad building. For example : - staad taking load case only in one direction i.e. +X, whenever I try to add another case in z direction, previous case gets deleted automatically. So, ...

The "actual ratio" button in postprocessing mode is not working for a lot of users in Subsea7. This button is supposed to re-arrange beam utilizations from default beam number order, to utilization ascending order, and is very helpful. The problem...

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 ...

Can we have a single query where we can have both the Bending Moments, and Shear forces can be sketched in the query report? adding the Deflection Diagram would also be an added advantage.

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

Just as the title. To be able to analyze a structure with Tension-Only members using the Direct Analysis Method.
