As we know in R.C structures we may need to provide holes in beam for service purposes. I am here attaching a book showing examples on the design of beams with holes. [View:/cfs-file/__key/telligent-ideas/03d5f738-7ee6-4ff2-9384-201f3d5dd0d9/Concr...

Staad foundation advance supports design of structural strap of strap foundation as per ACI code , i.e not designed the structural strap of strap foundation as per Indian code. Hence add the features of design strap foundation along with structura...

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...

Hello i would like to give a suggestion when modelling a structure and create a mesh using parametric model after generating mesh we know the beams are broken into parts depending on the mesh size, if one decides to delete the mesh, then the disin...

Looking for a OpenSTAAD Function to extract Area of reinforcement from STAAD Output. I have explored the OpenSTAAD help and I couldn't able to find. If you have any solutions, please suggest.

In design of buildings sometimes we need to takeup tapered bracket or counterbalance supported tapered cantilever cross section At the moment we can not design tapering cross section in staad pro connection edition

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.

Anyone who perform post-processing/detailed analysis on plated structures will benefit from this. The function could take a plate ID and loadcase as input, and give plate corner stresses for all corners as output.

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...

It'd be nice to be able to use the take-off command on plate elements. Similarly to beams where the take off give the section, length, and weight. Having the take off give thickness, area, and weight would be really helpful.
