Engineering work flow requires quick visual assessments of results and modification of structural models until a satisfactory solution is achieved. Hence, as part of the time saving ideas for reviewing structural models, May I suggest that the Wor...

To determine whether a column is a no sway or a sway column, stability index Q may be computed as given in annex-e of IS456. It's a very time consuming and cumbersome calculation while we are freezing the column sizes. if Q is directly calculated ...

It'd be nice to be able to use the take-off command on plate elements. Similarly to beams where the take off give the section, length, and weight. Having the take off give thickness, area, and weight would be really helpful.

Currently, it is possible to display results for multiple design blocks with AISC360-16 results only. This feature is also required for AIJ2005 and 2002. In AIJ codes, load cases are classified into parmanent loads, temporary loads and loads for...

Non linear time history analysis still not implemented in staad pro for different types of structure like residential, industrial structure etc, kindly add non linear time history analysis in staad CE as it gives realistic and more conservative an...

Hi, When inserting a node into a beam having a tapered I-section property, the software automatically generates the properties for the new section and places it at the end of the property section. This poses significant challenges during the optim...

It will be very helpful for the estimation if PRINT CG command works for groups of plate and beams and solid also. This will give directly the weight and volume of certain part of model, which is most of the the basic parameter of optimization. Ri...

Too many requirement for design the JIS/TIS c-light lip section as cold formed steel using STAAD. So, is it possible to have an JIS/TIS c-light lip section properties included in the database. If there are these section database in STAAD, it's can...

I assume this has been mentioned before (might even be working on it), but being able to specify the steel design parameters in the Modeler would be a game changer. A separate design module would be good too, but I don't think it's necessary.

It should be the default way and I think its a great idea to include Mass Reference Load in X,Y and Z global direction as a default as it works for ELF, RSA and TH, Static and Dynamic Analysis.I would also Suggest Let User define what they would l...
