I wouldn't lie by saying that I'm a vivid user of the calculator from the withing the Input Editor/Command file. But at times when the Window's calculator crashes, Staad's calculator comes to the rescue. hoping to add a few suggestions: 1. rather ...
It is general practice if we assigned a new property for the members, the old property will be automatically replaced or deleted by the new one. No need to change or edit the property in input file for members one by one. But for some large file I...
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'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.

Request Omitted Data from IBC/ASCE7 Seismic Load Generator
There is no method, report, or output command available to display the "k" coefficient used by the program for vertical distribution of seismic base shear per ASCE 7-16, Eq 12.8-2. Since this value can vary with the period it needs to be reported ...
OpenSTAAD function to extract plate corner stresses.
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.
Postprocessing display of multiple design blocks for AIJ codes
Currently, it is possible to display results for multiple design blocks with AISC360-16 results only.
This feature is also required for AIJ2005 and 2002.
In AIJ codes, load cases are classified into parmanent loads, temporary loads and loads for...

OpenSTAAD Function to extract Area of reinforcement from STAAD Output.
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.
Insert node in members having built-up I-Section property.
Hi, When inserting a node into a beam having a tapered I-section property, the software automatically generates the properties for the new section and places it at the end of the property section. This poses significant challenges during the optim...

Multiple design parameters results in post processing window for Indian code IS 800-2007 is requested.
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.
