Add feature of modeling physical objects (non-structural elements) in staad pro

Right now, staad pro users directly applies the load of physical objects (like pipes, equipments, chequered plate floors, Grating (floor), profile sheet (roofing sheet), instruments, vessels, steel tanks etc. on structural members like beams or columns as per their project, rather than modelling them in staad. But, by doing so, the analysis results, mode shapes, behaviour of structures and other analysis parameters may vary to great extent.

It is strongly suggested that upcoming version of staad must have capabilities of readily available physical objects like pipes, equipments, instruments, steel tanks, or any. Or they can be directly extracted/imported from external files. By doing so, the exact simulation can be applied into staad model to gain more realistic and more appropriate analysis results.
