    Separate Ice Load From Member Weight

    Beam local axis symbol, scaling

    After being introduced to StaadPRO, the one fundamental thing that I can't believe is not implemented is scaling of local beam axis symbols. It's at times almost impossible to find out the local axis of the beams in the graphic area, and this is v...

    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 ...

    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...

    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.

    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.
