    Slab deflection plots

    Currently the only way to check the deflection of a slab is to review the deflected shape of the shells' mesh, or in the tabulated results. It would be very useful if the contour plots for shells included the option to contour deflections as well ...

    Shrink diagram enhancement

    It would be helpful if the Shrink command under Structure Diagram would only shrink the members with released ends. This would make the diagrams look more like a design drawing and would make it easier to check that you have released the right mem...

    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...
