There are several methods to model shear wall/slab/mat in staad CE, broadly by physical modeller and analytical modeller, as far as the analytical method is considered, slab/mat/shear wall can be modelled through various techniques, like plate ele...

Staad foundation advance (SFA) has an option to assign plates of various thickness, but it should also have an option to model such plates in TRAPEZOIDAL PATTERN as shown in below images,which is frequently used to model raft foundation, also plac...

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...

It would be helpfull if modeled floor slab analysed in STAAD.Pro to be imported in RCDC for designing

Currently RCDC works only in Euro code for water tank.. my suggestion is please consider IS:3370 for water tank design.

May you please update the design of Slant beam in RCDC,as you may have a building has a certain slope from one grid to another

the software need to design water tank with ACI code in RCDC,so we hope to add Aci code to it.
