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...

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 assume this has been mentioned before (might even be working on it) but being able to specify the steel design parameters in the Physical Modeler would be a game changer. A separate design module would be good too (sorta how RCDC works), but I d...

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...

Create the ability to use a .dwg or .dxf file as a background when using Staad Physical Modeler. Have clickable nodes in background. Have the ability to place that background at different elevations.

currently, only 2 decimal numbers are displayed for plate thickness. when there are different plate thickness are input, and the thickness differences is on the 3rd decimal number, it will be hard to figure out which one is which, since they are d...

Hi I have an exceedingly large model which takes hours to run on RCDC. Also, when the model is exported from STAAD to RCDC, all the beam support points are not detected properly by RCDC and I have to spend days just correcting the Beam Continuum. ...

Provide a method for defining surfaces which curve out of plane so that they can be used to create curved walls

There will be many occasions where a user wants to redefine the incidence of one or more members or plates. It would be helpful if there is an OpenSTAAD function to carry out this task as this saves a lot of effort and time. I understand that ther...

Need a function similar to Midas automatic coupling plate element boundary
