If there is no particular reason why the Russian steel design codes(SP 16.13330) do not provide parameters for drift verification (such as CAN in AISC), I would like to formally request that they be added.

Section 12.3 of ASCE 7 - 22 states that unless a diaphragm can be idealized as either flexible or rigid, structural analysis should explicitly include consideration of the stiffness of the diaphragm (i.e. semirigid modeling). I am publishing an ar...

Latest code released in 2023 for designing of steel members is STILL not available in STAAD.Pro. This has already been implemented in MIDAS.

Sometimes, during the initial stages, we may assign a group name—say, XYZ—but later someone might want to change that group name. There should be an option to rename the group without opening the STAAD editor file.

We have noticed that, under certain configurations, the “Effective Length Calculator” tool in STAAD.Pro may yield results that are not conservative, which poses a risk to the structural safety of the project. Allowing users to validate and manuall...

As the use of cold form sections becomes more prevalent, it's essential for STAAD to support C and Z shapes more comprehensively. These sections vary significantly across manufacturers and are not always available in the STAAD database. Furthermor...

There is no option for 4 plates or tube beams with different thickness. Also, it could be fantastic an option with tapered tube section with different flange width or thickness

Details: Generation of Native Tables: STAAD.Pro Advance should create tables using Microsoft Word's internal structure. Basic Format Maintenance: Maintain borders and initial alignment to facilitate identification, prioritizing editability. Text N...

I would like to suggest a significant improvement to the software. Currently, marking each connection one by one in engineering drawings is time-consuming and prone to errors. It would be extremely useful to link the connections generated in Conne...

The current Report Builder lacks the ability to filter tables individually and customly to display specific data from different load combinations (such as seismic or wind). The "Filter" button applies filters globally to all tables, and the option...
