Dear Colleagues, // STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition - Version 22.12.00.142 // there was a situation where we had to find out the lateral forces due to wind on a light pole (tapered profile) and provide suitable support for the same. Wind was applied usi...

it might also be helpful, if we can add the MERGE NODE tool in the "popup" Node tools when many nodes are selected (just like MERGE BEAM tool is included in the "popup" Beam tools) and the CONNECT BEAMS and COLLINEAR BEAMS tool also (to generate b...

we conventionally add a new job and assign all the parameters from scratch while trying to replicate a similar footing desing within the same STAAD.Foundation file. however adding a cop/replicate/clone job might save time avoid the chance of missi...

Base pressure contour for raft footing is available for the envelop of the loads in Space Gass but not in STAAD. It is important to have this feature be implemented in STAAD too to facilitate the raft footing design based on allowable bearing pres...

Set parameters and have the program create a plate mesh automatically for finite element analysis.

All tapered section name shows as a tapered . its very useful if staad pro show the tapered section show the section in the display- Tapered I- 300x6+200x8+150x8 if its uniform web depth Tapered I- (300-750)x6+200x8+150x8 if its tapered web depth ...

There should be a feature in RCDC whereby you can group selected footing for combine footing design and detailing. Or, after RCDC is finish footing designs and the distance between adjacent footings are below a specified minimum, then RCDC should ...

For Inclusion of built up section in standard I section combination with Channel section on top flange, which is widely used for gantry girder.

There is no way to add wind load in other direction in case of unclad building. For example : - staad taking load case only in one direction i.e. +X, whenever I try to add another case in z direction, previous case gets deleted automatically. So, ...

There should be a way to convert STAAD model to 3D pdf. It will become easy for designers to hover over the model and get clear view of the geometry while modelling in 3D softwares. Inspite of inputs provided, they will have access to 3D pdf where...
