To correctly use the ASCE 7 load combinations including atmospheric ice, the ice load (Di) needs to be separate from the member self weight. As STAAD does not include an ice load generation tool, fireproofing can be used to apply ice loads to memb...

Hello STAAD.Pro Team, While generating Seismic Definitions, the software automatically assigns the Zone Factor for Cuddalore, Tamilnadu, India as 0.16. This value is not aligned with local seismic requirements and also with IS 1893 - Part 1 - 2016...

I am suggesting STAAD to implement new features for users, which will make the users use a short time in steel design. 1. As we know, sometimes we may have a secondary beam where this beam will create a node in the primary beam. Now, to make the s...

Could you please make the 'result utilization ratio' field directly editable? Currently, it's set to a default of 1, but we need to set values like 0.9 or 0.95. While it's possible to adjust this using a detailed diagram, the values changes with e...

In staad pro CE, in analytical modeler, when we add new node/s, the existing member is divided into segments, and the program takes length/effective length of that member as part, not takes as a whole member length about its major or minor axis ac...

When I model a concrete column in Staad.Pro, and perform the design, if the minimum rebar, lets say 1% is good enough for all load cases, the design load reported in the screen is the first load case. I understand because that rebar is OK for all ...

As per actual possibility provided by AISC 360, it is possible to perform design with Direct Analysis Method but also Effective Length Method and First Order method. In some case it is useful to do analysis with First order method (Dynamic Seismic...

I am liking this new calculator it super cool. But I have two ideas to build on it 1) The training video that Bentley created to demonstrate this calculator had the demonstrator use the calculator and then open up the input file to delete out the ...

STAAD Pro is used throughout Europe and provides in-depth code checks for most structural analysis. Wouldn't it be a good idea to include the wind parameters from EC3 1-4 in the Wind Definitions rather than only include american, indian, chinese a...

This would cut down the analysis time required by STAAD significantly. If it is too much work to change the solver code to benefit from multi-threads, can at least each basic load or each load combination be run at a different thread? There's no r...
