according to GB 51249-2017, steel structure needs to do the fire calculation and corresponding design. There are more and more security reviews about fire calculation, therefore it's necessary to add these content in staad.pro.

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...

HDR designs many concrete water tanks (round and square). We use STAAD to generate a FEM mesh and then use the stresses to design the concrete elements with load factors unique to ACI-350.

Hi, I am wondering when STAAD RCDC would be equipped with CSA A23.3? Thanks

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

As most of the functions exposed in OpenSTAAD uses the surfaceId to target a specific parametric surface, a function to retrieve the Id of the parametric surface by specifying it's name will be essential. I tried using the existing function GetPar...

Usually we start creating the parametric surface mesh by assigning a name. However, there will be situations where we need to clear all the existing mesh definitions and then start afresh. It will be much helpful if there is a function in OpenSTAA...

To determine whether a column is a no sway or a sway column, stability index Q may be computed as given in annex-e of IS456. It's a very time consuming and cumbersome calculation while we are freezing the column sizes. if Q is directly calculated ...

Can we have a single query where we can have both the Bending Moments, and Shear forces can be sketched in the query report? adding the Deflection Diagram would also be an added advantage.

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.
