The pipelink transfer of loads from AutoPIPE to STAAD is currently very limited for guide-type supports and other multi-direction supports. A guide support will have vertical loads as well as lateral loads. Depending on the direction of the latera...

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 ...

Design of foundation with shear link is not available in staad foundation advance (SFA). It is very necessary to implement the design of various foundation/s along with shear link design options also. Especially as per Indian standard codes.

It would be helpful to add a measurement of angles function to the program especially when dealing with complicated angles and geometry it will help speed up the modeling process and aid in efficiency.

Add some kind of functionality to categorize "connection types" to simplify reporting of loads. While there is functionality to group members and to group nodes, there is no way to overlap them. When I want the connection loads for certain members...

Hello, I found a problem when I have to analyze a structure in two different situation. One with equipment in operation and another one with equipment empty. For eatrhquake I used "Response spectra". It is knows that response spectra use only the ...

The possibility to presents diagrams with annotation is very importent for the documentation of analysis. Today the annotation of values for forces, moments, dispacements and so on does often clash with the geometry plot. The possibilites to adjus...

Currently I need to cut a line or plane at the base of a masonry shear wall in order to determine the in-plane bending moment. However, that effort produces the total moment for the entire cut. It would be more convenient if I could just click on ...
