It is highly inefficient to require the user to switch cursors for each selection in STAAD. STAAD shall identify the context of operation automatically, and select the object required. Users should be able to select nodes, beams, plates, loads, te...

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...

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.

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.

Need an Option to Design Beam supported by RC Column at one end and Steel bracket at other end. Currently RCDC doesn't recognize steel cupport and designing a beam s Cantilever which is not actual condition. This kind of Beam arrangment is require...

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...

Is there any possibility to update IS 802 latest code in stadd pro connect in near future? Till now IS 802 1995 is provided instead of IS 802 2016

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...

There should be a feature in RCDC whereby you can group selected footing for combine footing design and detailing. Or, after RCDC is finish footing designs and the distance between adjacent footings are below a specified minimum, then RCDC should ...

As most of the functions exposed in OpenSTAAD uses the surfaceId to target a specific parametric surface, a function to retrieve the Id of the parametric surface by specifying it's name will be essential. I tried using the existing function GetPar...
