Mesh size in FEM in staad is yet controversial topics, as different trials for different mesh size gives very diverse and biased result, Hence perfect mesh size for more accurate plate result needs to incorporate.

The AutoForm tool helps speed up generation of PMembers within an analytical modeler. Would be nice to have the ability to number physical members similar to how nodes and analytical elements like beam, plate, and solid elements are renumbered.

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.

Base pressure contour for raft footing is available for the envelop of the loads in Space Gass but not in STAAD. It is important to have this feature be implemented in STAAD too to facilitate the raft footing design based on allowable bearing pres...

There is no command to get the design calculation results in OpenStaad and I would like you to provide it.

It would be nice to tell the optimizer to optimize to angles where the angle legs are equal. By default I prefer to specify equal legs, as it eliminates confuse and chances of error when the legs are the same size. So even if the optimizer suggest...

Is there any possibility to update IS 802 latest code in stadd pro connect in near future? Till now IS 802 1995 is provided instead of IS 802 2016

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 ...

As most of the functions exposed in OpenSTAAD uses the surfaceId to target a specific parametric surface, a function to retrieve the Id of the parametric surface by specifying it's name will be essential. I tried using the existing function GetPar...

Usually we start creating the parametric surface mesh by assigning a name. However, there will be situations where we need to clear all the existing mesh definitions and then start afresh. It will be much helpful if there is a function in OpenSTAA...
