Make Staad Multi Processor (Multi-Threaded)

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...

Extend PRINT CG for plates and solids

It will be very helpful for the estimation if PRINT CG command works for groups of plate and beams and solid also. This will give directly the weight and volume of certain part of model, which is most of the the basic parameter of optimization. Ri...

Provision to interchange the local axis of elements in STAAD

Please find the combination of three models by different engineer. Under this when finally local stresses are checked, the contours are not smooth. if by any chance local axis of elements can be change, this will same a valuable time of re modelli...

Reintroduce SQL query in CONNECT Edition

In older v8i version, there were couple of options available to filter and extract information from any STAAD model using SQL query. Those options were very helpful to get any pre or post analysis data as per requirement using multiple filter opti...

Add NZS 1170.5 code to Seismic Codes in STAAD

STAAD does not have NZS 1170.5 in its Seismic Codes. Users in ANZ uses custom spectrum and factored it up to match the base shear. Adding this code will help the users in ANZ work directly with the NZ code and thus speed up their productivity. Use...

IS800:2007 result from multiple design blocks

Currently, if there are multiple design blocks present in a STAAD model, in the post-processing utilization table, design ratio from the last design block is reported. It is very common to define multiple design blocks with different set of parame...

Cold formed Member design to EN 1993-1-3

Many STAAD users in Singapore and Malaysia have requested to implement the cold formed member design to EN 1993-1-3. We have lost some prospects to competitors because of the absence of this code in STAAD.Pro. This may be a feature that is request...

Physical Modeler - Allow multiple wind load definitions to be combined into one primary load case

Because you must create multiple wind definitions for wind along a single direction (i.e. windward, leeward, sidewall) it would be helpful to have the ability to combine these in a single load case. Combining them in the load combos is cumbersome....

Multiple mass models/ seismic analyses for design

Many codes, particularly IS 1893 part-2 and IS 3370 part-2, the RCC elevated/underground water retaining structure should be analyse and design in "TANK ENPTY" and "TANK FULL" both of the conditions, but staad pro seismic definition whether it is ...
