This would cut down the analysis time required by STAAD significantly. If it is too much work to change the solver code to benefit from multi-threads, can at least each basic load or each load combination be run at a different thread? There's no r...

Just as the title. To be able to analyze a structure with Tension-Only members using the Direct Analysis Method.

The STAAD.Pro now can not check the the vertical structural irregularities 5a/5b in the ASCE 7 table 12.3-2 by ant command stream, but as the code demand, the designer need check this irregularities, it is very difficult and cost time for designer...

It would be good to get a function in OpenSTAAD function to get the CoG of the Model.

In spite of selecting Metric units for member section properties at the beginning of a new model (considering Indian codes), while checking the member sections during modelling and analysis, the member properties are getting displayed in FPS units...

Provide the ability to have horizontal moving loads in addition to the vertical loads. For example, ASCE 7 requires cranes to be designed for vertical loads and horizontal loads. It would be great if STAAD had the ability to have both the vertical...

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

I wouldn't lie by saying that I'm a vivid user of the calculator from the withing the Input Editor/Command file. But at times when the Window's calculator crashes, Staad's calculator comes to the rescue. hoping to add a few suggestions: 1. rather ...

It is general practice if we assigned a new property for the members, the old property will be automatically replaced or deleted by the new one. No need to change or edit the property in input file for members one by one. But for some large file I...
