Staad foundation advance supports design of structural strap of strap foundation as per ACI code , i.e not designed the structural strap of strap foundation as per Indian code. Hence add the features of design strap foundation along with structura...

Engineering work flow requires quick visual assessments of results and modification of structural models until a satisfactory solution is achieved. Hence, as part of the time saving ideas for reviewing structural models, May I suggest that the Wor...

It would be much helpful if additional tools to select entities like Nodes, Beams etc., in the polar coordinate system i.e., specifying the start and end radius (or diameter) and start and end angles. This helps a lot if we need to select the enti...

It would be useful to be able to a universal setting for different colors for different range of utilization ratios in the model to visually inspect. Right now they are only File Specific which means I will have to manually change the utilisation ...

The possibility of adding an 'AI Assistant' type tool, for example: "Alexa" or "Siri", which with natural language is able to interpret what the user asks for and execute the orders requested.

Looking for a OpenSTAAD Function to extract Area of reinforcement from STAAD Output. I have explored the OpenSTAAD help and I couldn't able to find. If you have any solutions, please suggest.

It would be nice to be able to apply wind loads on plate elements. Especially given that there is a wind load definition specifically for tanks, but no way to model that tank other than plate elements. The alternatives are a cumbersome to implemen...

HDR designs many concrete water tanks (round and square). We use STAAD to generate a FEM mesh and then use the stresses to design the concrete elements with load factors unique to ACI-350.

There is currently no efficient way to consider the live load reduction factor in STAAD.Pro. It would be fantastic to add a parameter to the design section (e.g., under CSA S16-19 or AISC 360-16) to consider a live load reduction on an element by ...
