STAAD does not consider the additional width of the fireproofed members; producing underestimated wind generated loads for open structures like piperacks. Please include this feature as this would make several of my colleagues happy.

Heavy loaded structures...

Dear All, I highly recommend to include calculation of seismic load using NBCC 2015. I see it as a big gap in Staad Pro not to include Seismic loading using NBCC 2015 Thanks a lot

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

STAADpro is not able to design cold form section outside the standard library or any user defined cold form section as per IS801. This is severe limitation as many users are using sections of their choice which are not in the library. This is espe...

At present design of double channel in STAAD as per IS800 LSD is having certain work flow. It assumes higher MI as a major axis even if it can be about minor axis Y which is not correct. STAAD should consider section orientation as provided by use...

In most of the industrial sheds, double I section spaced apart is used as crane column and single I section is used to support the roof above. In present STAADpro ver 24 facility to design double I section as per IS800 LSD is not available . This ...

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...
