I appreciate if future enhancement can take an option where you can add node relation to EXISTING in X, Y & Z direction. This option is available in some other software like ETABS where you just input X,Y &Z coordinate and click existing n...

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...

Anyone who perform post-processing/detailed analysis on plated structures will benefit from this. The function could take a plate ID and loadcase as input, and give plate corner stresses for all corners as output.

the software need to design water tank with ACI code in RCDC,so we hope to add Aci code to it.

There will be many occasions where a user wants to redefine the incidence of one or more members or plates. It would be helpful if there is an OpenSTAAD function to carry out this task as this saves a lot of effort and time. I understand that ther...

Currently RCDC works only in Euro code for water tank.. my suggestion is please consider IS:3370 for water tank design.

Hello, There’s no point in applying the notional load against other lateral loads. In STAAD, it’s possible that the Load Combination where automatically generated so the notional loads are generated for all directions even if they countermeasure t...

Hi, When inserting a node into a beam having a tapered I-section property, the software automatically generates the properties for the new section and places it at the end of the property section. This poses significant challenges during the optim...
