    Drift Parameters in Russian Steel Codes

    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.

    Convert beams to shells for FEA

    It would be great to be able to mesh a STAAD stick model using the assigned profiles (i.e. having the software replace the beam with a set of plates to match the flange/web sizes and thicknesses) in order to do some high level finite element analy...

    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 ...

    ADD Z section under user table manger option

    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...

    Add tapered rectangular tube section r2

    Extend the current tapered tube definition to allow for the specification and analysis of tapered rectangular tube profiles (i..e where the length of the two side dimensions differs). Currently STAAD.Pro supports the definition and analysis of tap...

    Moving Load Moving in Global Vertical Direction

    The ability to apply horizontal moving loads that move in the vertical direction (up a column) (e.g. elevator loads on a column).

    OpenSTAAD function for Circular Repeat

    Is there a function to carry out the Circular Repeat (similar to DoTranslationalRepeat)?. If not, is it possible to introduce this function?

    OpenSTAAD function to control meshing of a parametric surface

    At present we can define, generate mesh and commit the mesh using the parametric surface functions exposed by OpenSTAAD. However, many times passing the meshing parameters programmatically such as Meshing Type, Boundary Connectivity is important t...

    Wind Loads on Steel Structures

    I think the wind load application should be rewritten to make it simpler and more user friendly. STAAD is at least three times as long as SAP2000 when inputting wind loads.

    Using arbitrary Young's modulus (E) in AIJ2005 code calculations

    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...
