All features of ADINA should be implemented and available in staad pro also. Like,
Non-linear dynamics analysis, hydrodynamic (impulsive & compulsive sloshing load),
Computational fluid dynamics,
Potential fluid dynamics,
Modelled of water in case of water retaining structures, and many more.
These all features should be implemented in staad pro, so that there isn't any necessity to switch to ADINA. And also repetitive task would be minimised.
collapse mechanism, plastic hinge mechanism
Thank you for posting this idea. It is a very exciting idea, but will come along with cost implications. The ADINA solution is offered at a different price point and as such by including the capabilities will mean a significant hike in the price STAAD.Pro, although I suspect you mean adding this to STAAD.Pro Advanced. The current export we offer in STAAD.Pro means that we are reducing the duplication effort needed as the ADINA model is created with all the key information from STAAD.Pro, you only need to add the data associated with functionality not in STAAD.Pro and the cost of STAAD.Pro/STAAD.Pro Advanced is not affected
