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...

There exists a function to create a new design brief OSDesignUI::CreateDesingBrief(). However, there is no function to remove/delete existing design brief(s). Please review and consider adding this function.

Many codes, particularly IS 1893 part-2 and IS 3370 part-2, the RCC elevated/underground water retaining structure should be analyse and design in "TANK ENPTY" and "TANK FULL" both of the conditions, but staad pro seismic definition whether it is ...

In a multistorey steel structure, chequered plates and grating are widely used (as like slab used in RCDC) building, there is an option of modelling RCC slab in staad pro,like parametric modelling option,plate element option etc, but there isn't a...

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.

it is a very useful option when you are trying to hide some selected entity for better view. HIDE SELECTED OBJECT rather than using invert Selection and other ways.

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...

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

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...

Hello i would like to give a suggestion when modelling a structure and create a mesh using parametric model after generating mesh we know the beams are broken into parts depending on the mesh size, if one decides to delete the mesh, then the disin...
