Spring supports are created only in a particular direction. For e.g. base/soil springs. negative displacement is considered as compression. what if a steel base plate is to be modelled below a concrete slab. There is no way to create a compression...

It is suggested to add I sections with side plates table under specifications user table manager tabs. Offshore brownfiled modificaitons work would involve adding side plates to existing I sections to increase its capacity.

Staad pro doesn't support for modelling of rigid diaphragm for inclined floor/inclined slab/inclined roof, so that response spectrum analysis can not be achieved in this case, so it is necessary to implement feature of modelling rigid diaphragm/se...

I am trying to model in physical modeler of staad and it gives random orientation of plates. Now if I have to read and visualize the stress in particular direction ( not only for one line), i am not able to do that. if possible, please provide a b...

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

Provide a method to create wind loading on Cylindrical Structures as per Wind Pressure coefficients in clause 7.3.3.7 using Table 19 of IS 875 Part-3 2015

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 ...

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.

The STAAD.Pro now can not check the the vertical structural irregularities 5a/5b in the ASCE 7 table 12.3-2 by ant command stream, but as the code demand, the designer need check this irregularities, it is very difficult and cost time for designer...

It would be good to get a function in OpenSTAAD function to get the CoG of the Model.
