There should be a way to convert STAAD model to 3D pdf. It will become easy for designers to hover over the model and get clear view of the geometry while modelling in 3D softwares. Inspite of inputs provided, they will have access to 3D pdf where...

Kindly add the back-to-back properties of Lysaght C section (combinedly it becomes I- section) ,it is widely used in cold form structures.

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 ...

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...

There is currently no efficient way to consider the live load reduction factor in STAAD.Pro. It would be fantastic to add a parameter to the design section (e.g., under CSA S16-19 or AISC 360-16) to consider a live load reduction on an element by ...

Heavy loaded structures...

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.
