There is a new code for Stainless Steel that has been published by AISC. It would be nice to incorporate the code checks for AISC 370 for materials that have been selected as stainless steel.

When the basement shear wall is modelled along with intermediate columns as shown in image, and such columns supposed to designed in RCDC , then RCDC devides the length of columns into small length/small segments as per meshing of adjacent shear w...

This check should be implemented in RCDC as we know during design the reinforcement area maybe needed to be increased in order to pass the beam deflection check

For Blast loads in some cases we have to apply blast load in all the direction i.e x and z in different load cases. presently the time history load is possible only in one load case. Time history should be allowed to be added in mutiple load cases

This will reduce the tedious process of turning on and off each design parameter from editor file and then running the full input file again multiple times. If this can be implemented for AISC-360 then it shall be implemented for other codes also.

Provide a method to create wind loading on Cylindrical Structures as per Wind Pressure coefficients in clause 7.3.3.7 using Table 19 of IS 875 Part-3 2015

Add some kind of functionality to categorize "connection types" to simplify reporting of loads. While there is functionality to group members and to group nodes, there is no way to overlap them. When I want the connection loads for certain members...

Currently in staad foundation max/min bearing pressure is shown only for the compression cases.Incase the minimum pressure is governed in uplift case the same is not shown in the summary table.Same can be updated in upcoming revisions.Also the bea...

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...

Hi, I have an OpenSTAAD program that generates groups and that applies loads to the elements/beams/nodes in those groups. However I'd like to apply the load to the group directly using openSTAAD as you can in the STAAD Command File? What I want to...
