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.

STAAD.Pro already supports Eurocode for steel and concrete design, but it still doesn’t have automatic wind and seismic load generation according to Eurocode. Why is this feature missing, and when can we expect Bentley to add it? With so many Euro...

Could you please make the 'result utilization ratio' field directly editable? Currently, it's set to a default of 1, but we need to set values like 0.9 or 0.95. While it's possible to adjust this using a detailed diagram, the values changes with e...

As per actual possibility provided by AISC 360, it is possible to perform design with Direct Analysis Method but also Effective Length Method and First Order method. In some case it is useful to do analysis with First order method (Dynamic Seismic...

Changes in seismic design parameters or changes in class of Industrial structures in new code will lead to changes in seismic forces experienced by the structure. This may lead to different results than the one obtained from the old code (2015 ver...

Application of seismic action (including accidental torsion) for structure in Singapore using EN 1998-1 is cumbersome. Request to include this code in future development.

To correctly use the ASCE 7 load combinations including atmospheric ice, the ice load (Di) needs to be separate from the member self weight. As STAAD does not include an ice load generation tool, fireproofing can be used to apply ice loads to memb...

After being introduced to StaadPRO, the one fundamental thing that I can't believe is not implemented is scaling of local beam axis symbols. It's at times almost impossible to find out the local axis of the beams in the graphic area, and this is v...

Many STAAD users in Singapore and Malaysia have requested to implement the cold formed member design to EN 1993-1-3. We have lost some prospects to competitors because of the absence of this code in STAAD.Pro. This may be a feature that is request...

In general, Most of PEB companies design the web as Slender members if the project location is in low seismic region. In such cases when we give the design report to consultant for approval, we get comment that web area is considered in calculatin...
