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...

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...

Please add the ability to automatically generate wind loading to eurocodes.

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

Hi, Typically, to get end forces to design the connection for a certain beam size, a group is created and the bounding beam forces for the group are extracted using the "Beam Results - Beam Forces - Summary table" using the "Results Setup - Range ...

Heavy loaded structures...

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 ...

Mesh size in FEM in staad is yet controversial topics, as different trials for different mesh size gives very diverse and biased result, Hence perfect mesh size for more accurate plate result needs to incorporate.

The AutoForm tool helps speed up generation of PMembers within an analytical modeler. Would be nice to have the ability to number physical members similar to how nodes and analytical elements like beam, plate, and solid elements are renumbered.
