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...

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 ...

North America users, Canadian Users.

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...

Are there any plans to use the Water Tank module in Structure Wizard in the Physical Modeler to create a retaining wall module? It seems like this could be developed easily from the water tank module.

Beam FB111 is secondary beam and beam FB347 to FB350 is primary beam. We want beam numbering reverse. Primary beam should have one number and secondary beam should split into four different numbers. We don't want group name in output file.

Please could you incorporate some "basic functions" of Excel spreadsheet Tables into "STAAD Results table". This could be a row (with drop down tools) at the Top of the results tables. At the very least, just a few of these functions may help such...

Design of cantilever slab in RCDC should be added and also slab supported by beams on its two sides and its other two sides free or only three sides are supported by beams and the other side free.

The automatic generation of wind load should be made available to Indian code also apart from American code. It will save lot of time in analysis and manual calculation.

I often create models with multiple support conditions. Because of STAAD's requirements on support degrees of freedom I have to model lift cases first. This means that I cannot model seismic cases first as required if I want to use STAAD's seismic...
