There is currently no efficient way to consider the live load reduction factor in STAAD.Pro. It would be fantastic to add a parameter to the design section (e.g., under CSA S16-19 or AISC 360-16) to consider a live load reduction on an element by ...

I wouldn't lie by saying that I'm a vivid user of the calculator from the withing the Input Editor/Command file. But at times when the Window's calculator crashes, Staad's calculator comes to the rescue. hoping to add a few suggestions: 1. rather ...

To streamline the design process using the OpenSTAAD function, we aim to automate the visualization of member stress ratios for each analysis. Currently, when employing the "objOpenSTAAD.View.SetModeSectionPage 1, 6, 19" function, the stress ratio...

Please allow user to remove multilinear springs in GUI rather than going into the editor to remove 1 or 2 lines of text.

at present in the 'Translational repeat' command we have the option to 'link elements' so as to create new 'beam' elements... - could we expand this feature so that: 1) translational repeating a line (parallel to its local X axis) can have the pos...

Add a method to create a physical models using parametric attributes.

In the current AIJ2005 code allowable stress calculation of STAAD.Pro, the Young's modulus is fixed at 205000 (N/mm2). On the other hand, in the AIJ2002 code, by using the YNG=1 parameter, the Young's modulus used in the frame analysis can be use...

A print command such as "PRINT JOINT FORCES LIST 1 2 3 etc." that would output all the member end forces at a specified node, for the specified load cases. This is currently possible using macros/openSTAAD, but would be very helpful if added to th...

Add the ASME-STS-1 2021 file as an option for the results of the analysis. There are only four equations from ASME, then everything defaults to AISC 2016, so most of the work is done.

every time when we update software, it should be notified to take necessary backup of added section for cold form, it is really painful doing same work in 1-2 month while software is being updated. it will save designerr time
