Unless I am mistaken in order to run a direct analysis, you specify notional loads. However, per the specification it is allowable to use direct modeling of imperfections per C.2a. There is a way to specify camber and drift for members, but from w...

I am testing Load.GetUDLLoads command. The contents of the returned D1Array will always be 0. For example, 1992 UNI 0.100 7.750 10.250, since 7.750 is not returned in D1Array,I can not check the range which the load is applied . D2Array truely ret...

In the current AIJ2005 code allowable stress calculation of STAAD.Pro, the Young's modulus is fixed at 205000 (N/mm2). On the other hand, in the AIJ2002 code, by using the YNG=1 parameter, the Young's modulus used in the frame analysis can be use...

Hi, please add the ability to add partial moment releases in the physical modeller. This seems like an important feature to me because if you have instability warnings it is often the case you need to provide a partial moment release to get rid of...

Add the concrete design code for environmental structures into STAAD for designing water retaining structures.

Often it requires to prepare the material take off for structures. In order to fulfill this requirement, it will be helpful if there are functions to retrieve the following information:Unfactored weights of Sections and, Plates I believe there are...

The Nuclear Code AISC N690 has not been updated since the 1994 edtion. It is not available for the recent nuclear power plant project, I bought a Nuclear Code, but it is useless because it has not been updated.so please update it.

Currently OpenSTAAD provides OpenSTAADUI:AnalyzeEx() which upon completion of the analysis returns an integer indicating the status analysis. However, it will be helpful if there is a function which provides more information about the Errors and W...

When you use the Generate Rotate command, the beta angles remains the same so you have to uptade member by member the new beta angle for the non-orthogonal elements that were affected. The idea is a custom tool that automatically creates the new b...
