Provision of Effective Elastic Section Modules, Plastic Section Modules and beta values in output file while calculating bending capacity of slender member as per IS: 800-2007 (LSD)
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...
Exact and accurate mesh size in FEM for conservative results
Mesh size in FEM in staad is yet controversial topics, as different trials for different mesh size gives very diverse and biased result, Hence perfect mesh size for more accurate plate result needs to incorporate.
Renumber Tool for Physical Members (Analytical Modeler)
The AutoForm tool helps speed up generation of PMembers within an analytical modeler. Would be nice to have the ability to number physical members similar to how nodes and analytical elements like beam, plate, and solid elements are renumbered.
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...

Allow an option to include Failed Member list in the report even when there are no failed members
In the new 2023 version, the new report builder doesn't allow you to include the failed member list when there aren't any failed members. v22 did allow for that and would report there are no failed members. Which was an easy concise way of saying ...

AUTOMATIC BUCKLING EUROCODE COEFFICIENTS C1,C2,C3 and K.
For the eurocode to calculate automatically the factors C1,C2,C3 to calculate correctely the Mcr value for elements. Which depends on the bending moment diagram, loading type and support conditions.
Add ability to show "Color by Section" under Properties Tab
Under Properties in Analytical Modeling, one can currently only highlight assigned geometry for a single section at a time. A button could be added to the table that allows you to show all section properties in the current view by color, and then ...
Add an option for optimize to specify equal leg angles.
It would be nice to tell the optimizer to optimize to angles where the angle legs are equal. By default I prefer to specify equal legs, as it eliminates confuse and chances of error when the legs are the same size. So even if the optimizer suggest...
