I think the wind load application should be rewritten to make it simpler and more user friendly. STAAD is at least three times as long as SAP2000 when inputting wind loads.

Grid lines are already included when using Auto Drafter. That idea could be very useful in GUI.

For Blast loads in some cases we have to apply blast load in all the direction i.e x and z in different load cases. presently the time history load is possible only in one load case. Time history should be allowed to be added in mutiple load cases

Set parameters and have the program create a plate mesh automatically for finite element analysis.

It is new code introduced by IS Commitee for Steel Design. Those engineers working on STEEL Design across any industry will have to use all codal provisions suggested by IS8168. Accordingly STAAD Pro has to be upgraded.

The ability to apply horizontal moving loads that move in the vertical direction (up a column) (e.g. elevator loads on a column).

All features of ADINA should be implemented and available in staad pro also. Like, Non-linear dynamics analysis, hydrodynamic (impulsive & compulsive sloshing load), Computational fluid dynamics, Potential fluid dynamics, Modelled of water in ...

The STAAD.Pro now can not check the the vertical structural irregularities 5a/5b in the ASCE 7 table 12.3-2 by ant command stream, but as the code demand, the designer need check this irregularities, it is very difficult and cost time for designer...

It would be good to get a function in OpenSTAAD function to get the CoG of the Model.

request to add a future to split/divide a plate element in physical modeler by using a reference line
