There is currently no way, other than directly adding rigid body members with the necessary releases, to simulate an an axial angle or tee member (brace) under eccentric axial load. This causes a high amount of manual calculations to determine the...

As of now, STAAD. Pro supports the older version of IS 802, specifically IS 802:1995, for the design of steel structures such as gantry structures and equipment support structures The updated version, IS 802:2023, which includes revised load facto...

Reintroducing filtering "Max Forces by Property" to include by "View" and by "group", allows max member forces for selected members to be extracted simply & quickly. These max member forces can then be used in separate detail connection calcul...

Currently, accidental torsion analysis is only supported when using the Standard response spectrum excluding Eurocode, which needs to be specified. The functionality is not available for Custom spectra, which is a critical limitation that needs to...

STAAD.Pro has offered aluminum design and ASD code checking for many years based on the 1994 Aluminum Design Manual. Since that publication was issued 26 years ago, there have been five subsequent versions released in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2...

The issue here lies with the Angle / Double Angle User Steel Table Specification inputs - unlike the "Tee" input dialogue box where the user can specify the Cross Sectional Area (Ax) - the Double Angle input auto-calculates the area based on the a...

Sometimes these drawings are sent to other colleagues that do 3D modeling, and sometimes do not know that W200x27 TEE === WT100x13. It would be an improvement for the Schedule of Sections and MTOs show the correct WT callout, when a STAAD users sp...

Please allow option to save drawings from AutoDrafter to PDF.

There is currently no way to create a base plate plan in AutoDrafter. Please add it.

Create a default way to see the design of one or multiple selected steel beams. Once I select code and "design all". I would like to be able to click on one or more beams and instantly have a button to view the full design input and output. I beli...
