Create the ability to use a .dwg or .dxf file as a background when using Staad Physical Modeler. Have clickable nodes in background. Have the ability to place that background at different elevations.

Staad by default adds some materials to the model (please refer to the snapshot attached). Majority of these will not be used during automation (as the materials will be created separately based on the need) and hence the materials section remains...

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...

In recent times, I have been designing a large number of buried underground structures. (I figured many Engineers may have similar experiences on this too). For buried structures, a few of the applied loads are a function of a single variable i.e....

Could you please add shortcut to view Plate stresses Graphical Contours ( Mx, My, Mxy, SQx, SQy, Sx, Sy) in the Customize quick commands Pop-Up shortcut using space bar. The current function only brings up tables which is a bit cumbersome when mak...

Provide a method for defining surfaces which curve out of plane so that they can be used to create curved walls

Hello, Could you introduce "Dynamic Pictures" in STAAD? Engineers spend a good amount of time in generating clearly annotated and detailed reports within all project's lifecycle. In a competitive environment, hitting timelines is paramount. A dyna...

Please add the ability to automatically generate wind loading to eurocodes.

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...
