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...

When dealing with a substantial number of members within a STAAD model, the design parameters tend to split automatically. Consequently, this automatic splitting poses challenges when attempting to review the design parameters. The same situation ...

It is suggested to add I sections with side plates table under specifications user table manager tabs. Offshore brownfiled modificaitons work would involve adding side plates to existing I sections to increase its capacity.

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...

Heavy loaded structures...

Provide a method to create wind loading on Cylindrical Structures as per Wind Pressure coefficients in clause 7.3.3.7 using Table 19 of IS 875 Part-3 2015

Show code check results for more than just the worst case. Should be able to see what the next worst, and next worse after that and so on. It's been over 10 years since I used it but I believe SACS does this. If so, could take a look at it.

OpenSTAAD function to extract the capacity of members, so that it will be used for additional checks as per Code

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...

Add angle section to ram connnection so that the column base node of Lattice structure can be calculated
