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...

when I use RCDC, the column failed to crack-width,but I want to know the result of failed column crack-width value and calcute to deside how to update the model, update Longitudinal reinforcement or stirrup

Need a function similar to Midas automatic coupling plate element boundary

This will reduce the tedious process of turning on and off each design parameter from editor file and then running the full input file again multiple times. If this can be implemented for AISC-360 then it shall be implemented for other codes also.

It will be helpful if a function for applying the hydrostatic forces on plate elements either by selecting a group of plates or a selecting a single plate e.g., the PlateID and the pressure at four corners of the plate. Many a times applying the p...

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 ...

Hi, I have an OpenSTAAD program that generates groups and that applies loads to the elements/beams/nodes in those groups. However I'd like to apply the load to the group directly using openSTAAD as you can in the STAAD Command File? What I want to...

Pipelink is quite rudimentary. It does not provide the ability to assign guide supports to different nodes. For example, horizontal loads need to be applied to Vertical Members, while vertical loads need to be applied to Horizontal Members. The sa...

Please provide report data in txt format for export in versions after 2023, as we need to maintain consistency with previous versions

Currently in Column Design, RCDC has a limit on the maximum value of the effective length factor and users cannot modify this limit value 5. I want RCDC to lift the restriction on this factor. In my case as per attached staad, Column effective len...
